Using strips of willow and wooden blocks kindly donated by the Men\u2019s Shed, pupils carefully wove and shaped their feeders, then filled them with seed balls ready to hang outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hands-on activity supported our Eco Schools target of Biodiversity and helped us work towards achieving our RSPB Wild Challenge Award. It was lovely to see our bird feeders displayed at the recent school fundraiser coffee morning, helping ensure that birds across our community will be well fed this autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are very proud of the children for showing such care and respect for the environment \u2014 and for working together to make a real difference. \ud83c\udf0d\ud83d\udc9a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UNCRC
