2/3s Craft Chinese Dragons

The current 2/3 class is quite adept at cutting and folding paper. They often create quite remarkable structures when given the opportunity. With this in mind and China the class topic of study, the students began crafting cut and folded Chinese dragons. With red, green and orange construction paper they worked on long articulated bodies joined in segments with brass fasteners to allow for dragon-like movement. With the edition of wings, scales and many original details, each dragon took on a unique personality.

It needs to breathe fire!
