On the afternoon of Thursday 6th October, Silver Birch set a dragon trap in the grounds of the school (read our previous blog post - Dragon Watching)
By Friday morning the area was cordoned off by Police tape and there were scratch marks on the shed, scorch marks on the grass and two silver eggs left in the trap.
The secret camera was destroyed by the dragon's flames but thankfully, the memory card remained in good condition and we were able to get this amazing video!
Younger viewers may find the video a bit scary!
As all good dragon-watchers know, you need your own equipment so we made telescopes and then grabbed our coats and headed outside.
We were surprised at just how many we saw roaming the grounds of Neston School. After that, we went near the edge of the woods to set a trap. We knew we wanted to build a wall and hopefully catch a small dragon. The children suggested that we use the leftover wood from the mirror maze as it already had some small walls made from wood. The children showed fantastic teamwork by collecting sticks, stones and one of them even made a pile of food to attract the dragons.
We had a brilliant afternoon making Victorian toys, playing Victorian games and dressing up!
Silver Birch read their fabulous Beatrix Potter style stories to Willow Class this afternoon. We scampered home for chamomile tea after! What an adventure!
We had fun playing times tables games with our Chestnut friends this afternoon.
Amazing mentor Evie shows Keira some arrays to help.
Silver Birch created some amazing games based on the hundred square with their own rules. It was great to see them enjoying playing with their own creations using some great maths skills.
We have had an amazing time at Bristol Aquarium today finding out about so many different sea creatures. We got to see how long a Giant Squid's tentacle is (clue:it took the whole class to hold it!) and even got to feed turtles. Thank you to out fantastic parent helpers, Mrs Evans and Mrs Walpole for joining us.
