This week has been the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch. We are so lucky to have our garden where the trees and shrubs are full of birds when the sun shines. We have read the story “A Busy Day for Birds” and the children have been really interested in the different kinds of birds, learning about various species and their characteristics.
We have made bird feeders to help ensure our birds have food through the winter, developing practical skills whilst understanding how we can care for wildlife and support nature during the colder months. This hands-on conservation activity helps children recognise their role in looking after the environment.
The children have been showing an interest in mark making and we have seen them creating marks in many different areas of our provision. The children have been using chalk, paint, and whiteboard pens to draw and make marks in different ways, experimenting with various tools and surfaces whilst developing their fine motor control and early writing skills.
A busy day for birds, a busy day for Fox Room!
