As part of our Understanding the World learning, Robins have been exploring how to care for animals in winter—especially birds. We’ve been incredibly busy with a whole host of hands‑on, bird‑themed activities:

• Making fat balls and bird cakes with Mrs Humus to help our local birds keep their energy up during the cold months.
• Creating “bird porridge” in our mud kitchen—an imaginative (and very messy!) way to explore what birds need to eat.
• Designing our own birds and crafting our very own bird‑watching binoculars, putting our creativity skills to the test.
• Writing our own “All About Birds” booklets, showing what knowledgeable ornithologists we are becoming.
• And many, many more exciting bird‑related challenges throughout the week 

During our official count, we spotted:

• 3 robins
• 3 pigeons
• 1 long‑tailed tit
• 2 blue tits
• 1 great tit
• 1 chaffinch

What a wonderful week it has been for Robins Class! Through creativity, outdoor exploration, and hands‑on activities, the children have deepened their understanding of the natural world and learned how small actions - like feeding birds - can make a big difference. We are incredibly proud of their enthusiasm, teamwork, and curiosity.

Well done, Robins—what brilliant birdwatchers you are! 🐦🌿
