Mrs. McLaren’s challenge
Can you recycle plastic to make a bird feeder?
Good morning everyone. I hope you have had a lovely
weekend. If you would like to help feed some feathered
friends in your garden, have a look at the ideas below!
Using a plastic bottle to make a bird feeder is a cheap craft
idea that helps to reuse and recycle rubbish. They can
make lovely decorations in your garden whilst helping to feed
our wildlife.
*Please make sure you rinse plastic bottles thoroughly and let them
dry completely. It is very important to dry empty plastic bottles or
the bird food will stick to the moisture.

2D Shape Tiling
We can use most 2D shapes to tile and make patterns because they have straight edges and corners. They don’t leave any gaps in between. 2D shapes that aren’t suitable for tiling are shapes with curves as, no matter which way you arrange them, there will still be gaps in between.
Watch this video clip on tiling:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zthsb9q
Here are a couple of examples of how different 2D shapes can be arranged but they all slot nicely together.
Now it’s your turn. Can you create your own tiling pattern or picture using the website below? You can turn the shapes around and mix them with others but they must all slot together without gaps. Take a photo of your patterns and send them to your teacher.
