Year 1 (18-19) | Northop Hall C.P. School

We had lots of fun making castles.

Red Nose Day

Year Six came to talk to us about where some of the money we raised will go. We learnt a about Farhad and his family. We then shared our jokes with class. In the afternoon we decorated a biscuit and had a half an hour dance-a-thon!

World Book Day

The egg has hatched!!!

While we were out playing the egg hatched. We came back to class and there was golden paper everywhere. Luckily the I-pad was on and it filmed a baby blue dragon in class. We went on a dragon hunt and we think it has flown to meet its parents as we found lots of clues. We also found some golden paper in the forest school where we found the egg.

The Mysterious Egg

We found a mysterious large, golden egg in forest school in a nest of leaves. We looked around the area for any clues to see if we could find any footprints as we had seen unusual prints on the field. We carefully put it in a basket and brought it inside because of the cold weather. At first we thought it wasn't real and we checked with all the other classes to see if they had left it there. When we realised that it was a real egg we wondered what type of egg it could be. Our thoughts are that it could be an ostrich, dinosaur, dragon, golden goose or even a chocolate egg! We looked at these types of eggs on the internet and we think it could be a dragon's egg. We have contacted the appropriate authorities and they have asked us to look after it and keep it warm until they can come and check it out.

We used lots of adjectives to describe the snow.

Owl visit

We had a visit today from Steve (Rockliffe Raptors) and his owls. He brought Ko'ko - a Barn Owl, Tally - a Tawny Owl, Zako - a Little Owl and Rocky - a European Eagle Owl.

We got to see the birds up close and Steve told us all about the different owls. Tally the tawny owl is the same owl as the mummy owl in our book Owl Babies. We asked Steve our questions about owls and he was able to answer them all.

Year One's visit to the village Post Office.

We wrote letters to our mums and dads. Next we put them in an envelope with our home address on it then and walked to the Post Office to buy stamps. We used our Welsh to say 'Ga i stamp os gwelwch yn dda?'. Finally we posted our letters in the post box. Hopefully they should get to our houses on Thursday or Friday. Everyone walked safely with their partners and used lovely manners in the Post Office. Well done Year One!

A visit from the Dogs Trust

Today we had a visit from the Dogs Trust. One of us pretended to be a dog and we found out how to look after a dog. This included taking it to the vet, giving it a bath, giving it the right food and drink and even picking up the poo! We also learnt how to be safe around dogs when we are out and about.
