As it was such a beautiful day, we went outdoors for our assembly time today, focussing on Eco Schools and Learning for Sustainability.
Aiming to complete some RSPB wild challenges, we set about repurposing some materials to create a birdbath and a mini pond to make our school grounds a more wildlife friendly habitat.
Mini Pond
A hole was dug in the nature area. We then levelled a basin into the hole. We filled the basin with water and created islands to ensure that insects and creatures have a route to get out if required.
Bird Bath
We set a basin in the base of the tree support and created a perch point and an escape ramp from used bricks. This is supported by its own weight so we can change the water regularly.
Habitat Hunt
Our eager pupils worked in pairs to identify all the habitat zones we have created and have naturally in our school. Using and applying our maths skills we worked together to add up how many points we have scored for habitats on the RSPB recording sheet. We are proud to report we had an impressive score 155/173. We calculated this to be a score of 90%.
