Caring for the birds

Reception Teacher (C.Mason) on: Reception Blog

         

        

Reception class have been caring for our school wildlife today by making bird feeders. We used honey, loops and seeds to make bird doughnuts and bird pizzas. The children have to get busy with their fingers 'squeezing, threading, twisting and smearing'. We are really looking forward to our RSPB Big School Bird Watch next week to see which birds are visiting our school grounds this winter.
