The Dragon Trap
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!

We collected some lovely Autumn things to make pictures. The children have taken their own photographs of th or art using the iPad.

Dragon Watching in Silver Birch
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 started with "Dingle Dangle Scarecrow" this morning and then we found it on the Internet. After that, we found "here we go round the mulberry bush " and after that they decided to play "ring a ring a roses"
