We have been learning about bats in science. We learned what they look like, where they live, what they eat and more interesting facts. To tie in with this we created bat silhouettes using bat templates and sponge painting. 
We were also reading the story Zog. The children discussed the story and then created their own dragon. They named their dragon and presented them to their groups.
