| The Salford Dragon |
 |
| Just look at this Roamer dragon that the children of Friars Primary in Salford made. Their teacher, Ms Davenport, explains, |
|
| "They used newspaper and ‘mod roc’ so it was light enough for him to move. We are going to make a maze to direct him through and the children have also expressed a wish to make a short animation with their dragon as the star character. They are so proud of themselves that they wanted to show you what they had achieved." |

| Dear Roamer, |
|
| Thank you for you e-mail. We are all very happy that you liked our dragon. We like him too and would be really happy if you put him on your website. |
|
| We made him by twisting newspaper to make the body. We stuck it together with masking tape because you can paint over it. We left a hole in his back so we could still get to his controls. |
|
| To make the mouth we used an old ice cream tub and 2 nuts and bolts for the jaw that we asked our caretaker for. Our dragon also has a balloon for his tongue connected to a plastic tube so we can blow it up and open his jaws. We need to think more about this bit because using a syringe didn’t quite work. |
