Making a book activity 2: what are your dreams?

Follow your dreams, they know the way…

  1. Here’s what some of you have told us:

    “Dragons are playful, unique, brave: LIKE ME!”
    “I like dragons because they are unpredictable and they are cool to draw.”
    “Unicorn; strong and compassionate protector”
    “Dragons because they are cool and fascinating”

  2. This week I’ve decided to go with dragon because not only can they fly and have magical powers but they can blow fire ?!!!!
    Also they are really cool because you can have different types of dragons like in Ninjago they have an ice dragon, a fire dragon, a lightning dragon and an earth dragon ?
    Love rose ?
