Binocular Bird Watch

We have been learning about birds and how they have two legs, feathers, a beak and lay eggs.

We watched Hey Duggee 'The Bird Watching Badge'. We knew we had to be quiet and look up into the trees to see the birds. 

You can revisit Hey Duggee here...

We joined in with two songs about Birds.

Two Little Dicky Birds and Sing a Song of Sixpence.

You can listen to the songs by clicking on the images below. 

In the forest we made our own binoculars. We counted two tubes, or cylinders, and joined them together using Sellotape.

We checked we had two, one for each eye. 

It was tricky and we needed some team work. One of us held the tubes together as the other applied the tape. 

We added a string loop for the handle. 

We used our Binoculars in the forest, looking up high into the tress and the sky.

We could hear birds and see some bird's nests.

"Look there's a bird there!" says Kian

Some of us used our clipboards and survey sheets.

We were looking for Black Birds, Robins, House Sparrows and Blue Tits.

We made a mark when we saw one. 

"I've seen a Black Bird!" Says Harriet 

We loved exploring the forest, especially the mid slide, tubes and crates. 

We were kind and helpful, sharing the rope and helping out a friend who lost their boot. 

We were brilliant around the fire pit, stepping over and sitting for our snack.

We used our manners, saying please and thank you when snack was served. 

We had delicious hot chocolate with brioche or raisins. There were lots of empty cups.
