On Friday 24th June, we discovered the nest had not changed from the previous day. The beasts had not returned and had fled elsewhere. Community Police Officer Toni arrived and in our assembly she wrote up the daily happenings at the nest site as evidence. Also the children were happy to assist her with her inquiries. She wore a crime scene suit as she took samples of the shell, skin, bones and an unhatched egg which she bagged and labelled ready to be taken to a science lab in Gateshead to be analysed,
What a week it has been! Several children had over the last few days reported strange circumstances in their back gardens - loud flapping, heavy footprints and a child from Year 1 even reported he had seen glimpses of a dragon's tail!
What was the creature that had roamed Whickham and made temporary home in our school grounds?
Perhaps the Scientist will shed some light...
Leave a comment if you have any seen anything mysterious in the Fellside area!

I hope the lab can help us identify what type of creature has nested in our school grounds!

Wow!! That is exciting! It is quite fun to think of it being some kind of "mystery creature". I'll be coming by the school sometime, so I'll keep an eye out for anything!
