This week we learned about kingfishers and looked at their lovely colourful feathers.  In writing we thought of adjectives to descrobe a kingfisher and we put our feather adjectives on a flamingo.

On Wednesday we painted kingfishers and we put them up in the area and some in our classroom.

We found out that birds have different shaped beaks.  Then we looked at what they eat and we discovered that a bird’s beak is shaped because of the kind of food it eats.

Mia says ‘a kingfisher eats fish’.  Emma says ‘ birds eat meat, nectar, grass and plants’.  Aimey says ‘they also eat seeds’.  Decaln says’ a woodpecker eats bugs from the wood on a tree’.  Roy says’ a hummingbird has a longer beak than other birds because it sucks nectar out of flowers’. Lucy says ‘ birds can eat worms, meat and other birds’.

We read a story called ‘The Shiny Key’ where a magpie steals shiny things’.
