Our boys and girls put on their ornithologist hats this Friday to take part in this year\u2019s Big School Bird Watch.\u00a0 This fits with our Eco Schools action plan for biodiversity.<\/span><\/p>\n

The children got stuck into some outdoor learning combined with data handling to monitor how many different birds visited our school grounds within an hour\u2019s timeslot.\u00a0 The children used tally charts to log the birds they saw.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was a real exercise in the pupils abilities to be sneaky and silent as not to scare away the birds and I think we all came away really surprised at the variety we managed to spot on our own home turf!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
