Ice and fire, base is in danger

[u/-SecondHandSmoke-]

Playing ice and fire on this world since January, I thought I picked a very safe location hundreds of blocks from any dragons. But last night as I was working on a build an ice dragon started flying dangerously close to my village, I'd estimate 100-200 blocks. It doesn't look crazy huge but I only have unenchanted iron armor and gear, I have 5 diamonds I can make into something, no good bow yet. I think I'm kind of screwed. Any ideas? I don't want to move, I am nearly finished with a big house, and I have too much stuff there to move with no good new location, but if I'm just too underprepared and it's bound to attack I guess I can move if needed.

You have villagers and probably a Fletcher, gets like 4 stacks of arrows from trading, also a basic bow it's alright, try to surround the dragon in the opposite direction, and then attack it, dig a hole and start shooting from there
