PLHS - Support for Learning

This term in CDT the children will be working on making bird tables and boxes for the school garden. This will continue to build on the skills they learned whilst making their jewellery boxes during the autumn term. They will practise using a limited number of hand tools in a supervised environment as they work towards completing this task - a project that will have an impact on the school ecosystem, is environmentally friendly and dovetails well with the work on birds that has been undertaken in Science.

The children have already made bird cake, bird feeders, bird drinking bottles and stands for the garden and these have been in operation, very successfully, hanging from bushes and trees. However, the bird tables and boxes will allow us to expand and vary how the birds can access the food we have made for them.

Pictures of the boxes will appear here in due course…
