Fat balls

Today we are making some bird fat balls, because the birds need to eat in the winter.

Bug bundles and bird boxes

Today we hung out the bug bundles so that the bugs can keep toasty warm in the winter.
After that, Tim did a bird box special for us. We had to answer three questions.

One bird box hole is 26mm. Which bird will live here?

One bird box hole is 28mm. Which bird would like to live here?

Bug Bundles

We made homes for bugs such as wood lice, ladybirds, solitary bees and lace wings. We tightly bound together a variety of sticks and twigs. We will search for good place to put them in the wild area so our bugs have a home for the winter.

Hedgehog house!

We have been thinking like hedgehogs today, so we can learn what hedgehogs need to be happy! We are checking that we have everything here that a hedgehog needs, then we are going to make a hedgehog house for our wild area!

Looking after the wild area

We have been doing lots of jobs in the wild area this week like pulling up thistles and covering the liner of the pond.

Soundscape poetry

Today we went out and listened carefully to the sounds we could hear outside. We listened for a whole minute, then we made our poem.

Sounds of the outside

Birds tweeting in the trees,
Shuffling in bushes.
Trees rustling, grass swaying, cat meowing.
Tadpoles swimming and playing in the water, bubble bubble.
Car trundling, plane soaring, rumbling over, high.


High up in the bushes, birds tweeting for food, chatter, chatter, chatter.
A choir of birds.
Shouting boys, silent sky.
Bees buzzing past my ear.
Noisy keys.
Cars sweeping by.
Ducks quack, cockerel crows.

Sound search

We spent a minute being silent and searched for sounds around us. These are some of the sounds we heard. Chattering birds, bees buzzing, lawn mower, lorries, shouting boys! Splashing tadpoles. Shuffling. Knocking. Siren. Crunching leaves, jangling keys. Cats, ducks, barking dogs, planes, rumbling wind.
