Today I share a traditional tale about St Michael and how he tamed a dragon and brought peace to a village through his courage.

We have been thinking about how we can overcome our fears and be brave like St Micheal. ##### 5A *29 September 2025* Thank you for this worship video! We very much enjoyed the story of St Michael and the dragon which had some great images. We hope we can all be as brave when needed. From all in 5A - have a lovely week everyone! ##### Class 2A *29 September 2025* Really enjoyed the story and we discussed being courageous. Eliana said she had been courageous dancing on the stage as she always get scared and nervous. Albie is really scared of roller coasters and he was courageous once and went on one. Hajra was courageous when she sang at the front of class as she doesn't like people looking at her. ##### 6B *29 September 2025* In 6B, we spoke about our daily dragons- our fears and our worries. We spoke about how we can tame our dragons and be brave with kindness. We put our trust in God. Help us to gain courage!! ### Leave a Comment - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
