Spring is a busy time for birds and the children will find out why on this day.  They will also discover why birds are important and how we can help them thrive.
What do baby birds need to survive and what dangers might face them from the moment the egg is laid until the moment the chicks can leave the nest?  Find out how difficult survival is by following a trail of chance into the woods.  Once in the woods find your bird mate and think about how together birds build their nest by building one yourselves. What do you prefer to eat - it might be worms, caterpillars, seeds, flies or even mice! When you have collected enough food to feed your family, your chicks will be ready to fly away.
After lunch make woven willow bird feeders, complete with delicious food, to take back to your school grounds to attract as many birds as possible into the school environment.
