On Thursday the 9th February, the children took part in the Big Bird Watch. For one hour in the day, they had to observe the variety of birds coming into the garden and record how many of each kind they saw.

Before this, we made bird feeders to attract the birds into the nursery garden.

On Friday we had a visit from Joe, a Countryside Ranger from Dams to Darnley. Joe told us some wonderful things even the teachers didn’t know! For example… did you know, bats eat over 3000 midges a night? Or did you know, frogs jump while toads walk? Or did you know you shouldn’t feed birds bread because it expands in their stomach?

Following the visit the children will make bird feeders to put in the garden to attract birds.
