Nogards

Yesterday Mrs T-K gave our class a set of instructions to visualize and draw a creature called a Nogard. Miss Swney read the following instructions and we drew the individual parts.

What is a Nogard?

The Nogard is an animal. It has an oval-shaped body. It has a long neck and tail. The top of the neck, back and tail are covered with a row of triangular-shaped plates. The Nogard’s head is shaped like a long triangle. It has big eyes and eyebrows that stick out. It also has big nostrils. Its body is covered with scales. The Nogard has four short legs. At the end of each leg is a foot with five toes. Each toe has a sharp claw at the end. The Nogard has two wings attached to its body. These are located behind the front legs towards the top of its back. Nogards are usually green but change to a deep purple during the winter months.

We noticed that everyone’s interpretation of the instructions was different. You can see our ‘Nogards’ if you stand outside our classroom and look at the windows.
