Thank you so much to everyone who took part in our Big Schools Bird Watch! It was amazing to see how many different birds are in the area! I have submitted our results to the RSPB by calculating an average number over the 5 days. Below I have attached our certificate and a couple of charts so you can see the data we collected.

One of our tasks this week was to create a Dog Poo Bag Holder to support the community with tackling the current dog fouling issue. We will be working with the New Cumnock Development Trust to place these Dog Poo Bag Holders throughout New Cumnock. If you wish your Dog Poo Bag Holder to be used, please drop it off at the school at our designated drop off zone. This can be found at the entrance of the front office. Please drop off your Poo Bag Holder and a member of staff will collect at the end of the school day. The drop off zone will be here Friday 12 Feb, Tuesday 16th Feb, Thursday 18th Feb and Friday 19th Feb. This will be available during school hours (9.00am-3.00pm).
Our final day of bird watching! I hope you have enjoyed this week and perhaps learned a little bit more about the regular visitors to your garden and surrounding area. Maybe you’ll be come a regular bird watcher from now on, I know I am!
Please let me know what you saw yesterday by filling out the form below. I will post the final form later on this afternoon for today’s spots.
Thank you so much to P2/3 for all the wonderful information they have provided us with this week.Â
Today’s bird is a blackbird.
I’ve included another hands on activity today because I love the fact you can recycle things lying around to make it. This is how to make a bird bath! I don’t know if you have ever see birds having a bath, maybe in a puddle? It’s great to watch them and will bring a smile to your face. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy. Use the link below for some ideas and adapt it to suit you!
To finish off this week’s activities I’ve included another audio story. If you scroll to the bottom of this link you will find a story about a blackbird. Sit back, relax and enjoy the story.

I have a very ambitious activity that you might want to try with a grown up at some point, maybe not today unless you have the materials to hand. It is very exciting to have a bird box nearby and watch the birds coming and going. We have one in our garden and were fortunate enough to have blue tits nesting last year, it was an amazing experience! If you’d like to give building your own box a go follow the link below.
Don’t forget to take 10 minutes again today to spot birds in your area. I look forward to seeing your results tomorrow!
