What is the Big Schools' Birdwatch?
The Big Schools' Birdwatch is a free activity for schools and youth groups (brownies, scouts etc) throughout the UK, which we run every year in January and February. By observing the birds that visit your school grounds you will be helping us monitor UK bird numbers. A free teachers activity pack is available. We also have loads of information and resources on these pages to help you carry out this activity with your class. New for this year, build your choice of graphs and charts. Submit your results online and get access to these new, interactive class activities. A series of cunning questions provided by us will also get your class really exploring and interpreting their data. Print out the tables, graphs and charts and use them as a record of data handling work, or put them up in your classroom as part of a Big Schools' Birdwatch display. If you don't have access to a whiteboard, we still want to hear from you. Please submit your results using the paper form provided in your activity pack. If your school does not have suitable grounds you can carry out your birdwatch in a local park. The next Big Schools' Birdwatch runs from 19-30 January 2009.
