SHHH! We're bird watching!

Monday 9 June 2014

In Year 6, we have been increasing our awareness of the local environment by learning about the variety of birds around our school. Even though it has involved quiet and concentration, we have discovered new talents as budding ornithologists!

Equipped with cameras we successfully spotted sparrows, starlings, pied wagtails, pigeons, a robin, a wren, blue tits, magpies and lots of crows. Next, we used recycled bottles and yoghurt pots to make bird feeders. A variety of recipes were created involving mixtures of dried fruit, seeds, lard and nuts.

Now we will wait and watch to see whose creations prove most popular with our feathered friends.
