0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Hiya. Are you all right?- Yeah.
0:02:46 > 0:02:52Right, so you're going to be St George, so on your shield,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- what would you like to draw? Shall we draw...?- A cross?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58The red cross, yep, good idea.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03You're going to make a dragon's helmet. Would you like to try it on?

0:03:05 > 0:03:10Go on, then, Sam. You do that line for me. Lovely!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Does it look like a dragon's mouth?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19You're doing a great job with that.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22The red cross is the symbol of St George.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25The cross is looking good on the shield.
