We're half way through the Birdwatch now, and it's been our most exciting one so far! As well as lots of people getting involved, and registering for our resource packs, we've had an amazing amount of media coverage. We've been on the Alan Titchmarsh show, and were also featured on Newsround last Friday! Click through the links to watch.
While all this has been going on I was fortunate enough to visit some schools last week, to see how they were doing their Birdwatch. It's so nice to see how everybody does it differently, and each teacher has unique ideas that makes their Birdwatch successful - mudcake birds, 'baggy' birds and birdseed pictures are a few things I've seen already!
Here is one child from Woolenwick Infant and Nursery School making their fantastic 'baggy birds'.
Some children from Wrestlingworth Primary School demonstrating how to make some birdseed pictures with vaseline.
We'd love to hear how you do your birdwatch, either on our forum or below.....
P.S. If you want to make sure you are kept up to date with our other projects for schools, join this community to receive emails about all our latest news. Also, take a look at Teaching News, it's regularly updated with new resources for schools.
Meadowview nursery has just joined the bird watch. We feed the birds in our garden everyday and we are looking forward to collecting information
Hi Meadowview! It's so nice to hear that you are joing in with the Big Schools' Birdwatch - every set of results is important to us. As you feed your birds everyday, there should be a good show for you when you go out to count them :)
Enjoy your birdwatch, we'd love to hear how it goes!
