Nevermind the three R's, children at a Cornish primary school have been studying the much more exciting sounding 'Dragonology".

It's all part of a project by Exeter University to teach children about Cornwall's myths and legends, and get them excited about reading too

Students from the university have been reading to the children at Kennal Vale School in Ponsonooth.

The mythical stories have been written by the students themselves, and its hoped they'll inspire children to read and write themselves.
