So, the story of LEX* the dragon…
Lex the Dragon has flown into the grounds of Meadow High School and needs our help. LEX loves to travel and has flown all around the world, learning about how people live in different countries, trying different food, listening to different sounds and languages. LEX has enjoyed travelling so much it has changed their ideas about the world and the markings on their scales. LEX is now covered in flags from all around the world but needs our MHS students to add the correct colours to the flags.
[*LEX – short for Lexicon – means the vocabulary of language, ours at MHS is made up of many languages, about 21 at the moment, and of course signing too!]
If you would like your child to have the opportunity to help paint Lex, complete the attached slip or email asugden@meadowhighschool.org. Please let us know if you have someone in your family who has a connection with another country. It might be they
- moved to live in another country
- lived in another country for a while,
- go on holiday to this country regularly/or a special holiday
- moved from another country to live here.
It will be lovely to gain a picture of just what a global community we are. Last time we had connections with 44 countries – let’s see if we can beat that this time! We’re going to log all the places on a map of the world and display it in school. We will make sure all students who reply have the opportunity to help paint Lex, where possible, the flag of the country they have a link to.
Finally, LEX will take their place at the front of our school.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Sugden, Ms Sojka
