Good morning Reception.Happy St George’s day. I hope you have a good day learning about St George, and enjoy the sunshine.
There was a dragon who used to attack the village everyday. The villagers tried everything to stop the dragon, they first gave him all their food, then all their animals, all their golden jewels and they also sent the army to fight the dragon. But the dragon was too strong and kept coming to attack the villagers.
The king runs out of things to give to the dragon so he decides to send his daughter , the princess, to the lake to wait to the dragon. When George the knight heard that, he went as fast as he could to rescue the princess. The dragon came out of the lake and tried to attack the princess but George was brave enough to fight and kill the dragon. George and the princess returned to the village and everybody was very happy they would not have anymore problems because of the dragon.
The story happens in a village in England.
The characters in the story are : George the knight, the hermit, the dragon, the villagers, the army, the Princess and the King.
Yes I like the story because George the knight is very brave, and he is not scared to fight the dragon.
I also like the fact that he saves the princess and stops the dragon from attacking the village.
Good Morning. The story is about a knight a horse and a princess. In the story the princess was waiting to be eating by a dragon but the knight save her. The knight is brave. I like this story because the princess got save.
Rocco enjoyed this story and told me what happened;
‘There was a older man what told George and his horse there was a dragon that wanted to break the village what they lived in. And they gave everything what they had to the dragon so the dragon could stop breaking their village and then the king sented his knights to get the dragon but they were too scared and there was fire on their head and there was only one thing the king could do and it was he could give his daughter the princess to the dragon. The dragon had a lake and when he came out of the lake George and his horse attacked the dragon and killed him. George and his horse’s team won.’
We loved the story, especially when George saves the princess! Our drawing has been sent!
“An old man told George the knight that a dragon was attacking the village and it was life threatening for the people. The villagers gave all their animals, gold and food to stop him but it didn’t work. Then they sent the army to get him but they were too scared to fight the dragon so the king sent his daughter, the princess, to the dragon. George heard about this and raced to save the princess and kill the dragon, then everyone was happy”
I really liked the story because it reminds me of the police.
It’s set in a village by a lake.
The villagers are very scared and George is very brave!

Marcus retelling of the story:
“In the story, Saint George travels to many places.
One time he went to a place and saw a man in a cave who said there is a village nearby where a dragon came to live in the lake and attacked the villagers.
The villagers gave the dragon their food, animals and all their gold but the dragon still continued to attack the village.
Then the king decided to give the dragon the princess.
The dragon was going to eat the princess then St George ran to the lake and attacked the dragon and he won! The end.”
St George is brave. The villagers don’t know what to do. The dragon is strong.
I liked the story because my Friend Carlos likes knights and the story reminds me of him!
I miss Everyone in my school.
We’ve sent a photo of his drawing!
The story was about a knight called George. George saved the village from the dragon. He defeated the dragon and rescued the princess. He became Saint George. I liked the story a lot.
Saint George was a knight who went to many places and when there were problems he helped the people.
In this story he helps kill a dragon who was very bad and wanted to eat the princess.
I like the story because Saint George is very brave and fights dragons.
Saint George was a brave knight who was keen to help others. He killed the dragon and bring happiness to the villagers. It was very dangerous because a dragon can breathe fire ?.
I sent a picture of Saint George and the dragon in lego bricks.
Well done; Marcus, Mikey and Nico. I am glad that you enjoyed the story of the brave knight, St. George.
