RSPB Big School Bird Watch
Last Wednesday and Thursday the whole school took part in the RSPB Big School Bird Watch. All the children from both classes enjoyed an hour at the allotment, either tucked in the bird hides or nestled under trees. They did a marvellous job collecting vital data for the RSPB to chart the rise and decline in bird populations across the UK.
The bird count supported the fat ball making activity that class 1 had done earlier in the week. The food helped to attract blue tits, robins and blackbirds.
The children enjoyed using the counting sheets to help with the identification of the different birds.
It was great to see the bird hides in use after all the hard work the children had put in to help build them.
