Drac's third visit.

When I met the children on Tuesday morning they were able to tell me all about Drac's third visit. I took some photos too.

This is what they said:

"When we came in on Monday morning one of our tables had been tipped over with two chairs. There was a chocolate coin on the floor. The table that had the letter on it was pulled out with a gap in the middle.

The dragon on the radiator had been moved. It was upside-down with it's head off the radiator on Christian's box.

Drac drew a picture of himself and left it on the table with our letter. He left answers to our questions. He still wants to be our friend.

Drac wanted to know what a Tooth Fairy was. He doesn't lose his teeth like us. They grow and grow and get sharper and sharper. That's weird. Thats why he wanted to know who the Tooth Fairy is."

Today was also very special because we got a parcel from our friends in Japan.

There were sweets. Fruit flavoured.

Letters from each child in the class along with an English translation.

Maps.

The answers to some of the questions we had asked.

Along with photographs of some of their favourite foods.

Thursday 26th February

Drac didn't come back.

After Assembly, we got the chimpanzee from Year 4. It was our turn to look after the chimp toy. The School Councillors had decided to adopt a chimpanzee from Chester Zoo. In the package from the Zoo there was asoft toy, a certificate and tickets to get 10% off at the Gift Shop and you could meet the keepers. There was a Thankyou card too.

Mrs Garratt started making a dragon head for our display. Some children wrote out our questions about dragons. Other children drew dragons.

In the morning we also received an email from Chris Harber in Japan. He teaches English to the children in Furutsuki Elementary School. He sent us some photographs of dragon dancers in Nagasaki during the Chinese New Year Celebrations there. There was also a link to a Japanese story called "Urashima Taro", which has a dragon in it.
