Last week, P1a got busy making some bird cake to help feed the many types of birds that visit our school grounds. They mixed fat and bird seed together and filled spare mugs with the mixture. The leftover mixture was added to a large bowl. They had collected sticks from the school grounds and pushed these into the bird cake in the mugs to make perches for the birds to land on when feeding. Then the mugs were put into a freezer to harden the mixture. The mugs were hung on branches by their handles  near to  the trees where we have put up our new bird boxes to encourage birds to nest there and the  bird cake from the bowl was placed  on the grass for the birds that prefer to feed from the ground.
