What is a Nogard?

During reading, we have been learning to visualise pictures in our head. The children were given a description of a nogard. They then had to draw what they thought a nogard looked like. Here is the description of what a nogard is.
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.
Didn't they do a fabulous job?

 

Brianah was quick to realise that a nogard is 'dragon' spelt backwards.
