Our first week back was too stormy to be outside - we found out about the Big Bird Watch instead indoors. The children listened to bird poems, brainstormed what they know about garden birds already, took a quiz about which garden bird they were, they made binoculars and created their bird log sheets. 

In preparation for our woodland trip, we practised our call and response so we would all stay safe.  Some children had asked to learn about bats - 5 bats were hidden in the area and the children were reading facts about bats - the only flying mammal. Some children crafted some bats, enjoyed the hammock we added a bat box to our Forest School area, hoping to attract some of these beautiful and important animals. We finished with our popular bat game- learning about echolocation.
