Birds

Over the last fortnight the RSPB has been holding its annual 'Big Bird Watch'.  In Year 1 we have taken this opportunity to study birds within our theme.  The children have enjoyed finding out about the different birds they may see around the school or in their own garden, as well as finding out about owls.

The children decided that they would encourage more birds into the school grounds by making feeders to help the birds find food.  We hung the feeders around the school and then took our binoculars we had made and went 'bird spotting'.  We didn't see as many birds as we had hoped although we did see a robin, gulls, sparrows, blackbirds and starlings.
