Birdsong

I had a fantastic day with year 2. We were learning about common British birds we all find in our gardens, parks and school grounds.  The children were really enthusiastic about this subject which was so lovely for me as I love birds!  We listened to some birdsong of various birds - the challenge was to see if the children could tell what species was ‘singing’. 
I gave the children an identification sheet to help them with their bird watching at home.  Hopefully it will come in handy. 
We then took some time to hear the beautiful bird song in our school garden. It was amazing because in our small space we must have heard at least 6 different types of birds. 

I challenged the children to create a birdhouse in the holidays or to put out some bird feeders in their gardens. This is to help our garden birds stay happy and safe 🐦‍⬛

After all the excitement of watching and hearing birds the children helped me make a fire and we toasted some yummy marshmallows!
