Year 1 celebrated Local History Month this week learning all about Pip, Britain's last surviving pit pony.
The class did some research and created fantastic informative leaflets with some eye-catching art. The group made pit ponies out of toilet roll tubes, created a pony collage and drew Pip on shift at Sacriston Colliery.
Year 1 really took a shine to Pip, he was certainly a brave and resilient pony!
