First Week Back

January 6, 2023 Ms Scanlan Leave a comment

It has been so lovely to see everyone back. What a great start to the year.
We are starting to get ready for the RSPB birdwatch, so this afternoon while the pupil council were out, the rest of us made bird feeders.
We used up the old pine cones from Christmas and learnt to tie a reef knot, so that we’ll be able to hang them from the trees. Next we made a delicious 🤢 mixture of lard, cheese, grains, nuts and sultanas and moulded it onto the cones. We will harden them up in the fridge and hang them out next week.

We had our fourth Wider Achievement afternoon today and we put out our bird feeders, ready for next week’s RSPB birdwatch. They’ll certainly have plenty to eat!

We had a lovely afternoon making two more types of bird feeders. Next week we will go and tie all the feeders to our feeding stations and the trees. P4/5/6/7 have worked really well, the 🐦 are certainly appreciating it!

Second Wider Achievement afternoon

We had a great afternoon adding feeding trays onto our bird feeding stations and making yoghurt pot feeders. We also learnt how to tie some useful knots, so that we can attach them to the posts and trees.

So far we have seen starlings, house sparrows, a robin and two herring gulls on the feeders.

Wider Achievement afternoon

We had a great afternoon making bird feeding stations for our school grounds. We used some of the big logs and made holes in them for bird food and hammered nails into the wood so that next week we can hang feeders off them. We also made lots of fat balls and seedy worms 🐛 and put these out too. In a few weeks time we’ll be doing the RSPB bird watch and hope this will encourage more birds into our school grounds, especially in this cold weather.
