Gardening Club feeds the birds!

This week, in Gardening Club, we have been feeding the birds with school-made bird feeders. The children poked wooden spoons through the bottles at angles, letting the food to dribble down and gives the birds something to stand on.

The children were worried about the seagulls getting a tasty treat instead of the garden birds we are trying to attract. As a result, we have made the holes very small so only a small beak will be able to gain some of the seedy goodness!

If the design doesn't work, we will go back to the drawing board and change the design of our bird feeders!

Have a look around the field and playground; how many feeders can you spot? Can you see any birds feeding from them?  Remember children: look and observe but be careful not to touch them as they are quite a delicate model!
