This afternoon we read the story Charlie Crow in the Snow by Paula Metcalf. We learned that some birds like swallows fly away to warmer countries in the winter and some birds like Charlie stay at home in Scotland.

As you will see from the photographs we then took part in three different bird themed activities.  One of these was a challenge to work with a partner to build a bird house that could stand up without support . After many attempts, some of the results were very impressive indeed!

We also made model birds using plasticine and craft materials.  Some of the girls helped Miss McDermott to prepare the resources and practised counting in 2s at the same time.

Mrs Smith helped us to make bird feeders for our gardens so that birds like Charlie won’t go hungry in the winter.  Some of us were not overly keen on this activity as you can see by our faces and we certainly didn’t want to eat them!!

PS

Apologies for some of the rather blurry pictures today – it seems the camera lens had some bird food mixture on it!
