Pre-Prep Birdwatch

In preparation for the RSPB Birdwatch, we’ve been learning to identify some of the birds we’re likely to see here at Barrow Hills. From the robin with its red-orange tummy to the male blackbird with shiny black feathers and a bright orange beak—and, of course, the female blackbird with her dull brown feathers and plain beak—the children have been practicing their bird-spotting and descriptive skills.

It was all going so well until Nursery spotted a problem! Surely a black-and-white bird must be… a panda! Silly Mrs. Wilson!

Reception class also got creative, making birds using materials gathered from the woodland floor. And, naturally, everyone got wonderfully muddy hands—some muddier than others!
