The counting has already started but we wanted to wait till
next week. P1 and P3 classes are going to have a visitor –
Lindsey Taylor from RSPB. They will be making food to attract
birds to the school grounds.
We would like to ask as many classes as possible to help us
count starting next Monday, 26th January – Friday 6th February.
To prepare for this you could:
• Watch the powerpoint with your class
• Have a closer look at what birds you might like to look for
• Check out the posters around school with details of birds
• Do an activity
Eco Club
Mrs Gillon made a map last year to show places where birds may
come and where the bird feeders are. Have a look at this on
the interactive white board with your class. It is also displayed
just outside the office.
This coming weekend, 24th & 25th January is the Big Garden
Watch, where you can count birds in your garden and upload
your results. You can register to do this by following this link:
