Unofficial Opening of our Bird Restaurant....

Today level 2/3 students had an unofficial opening of our bird restaurant. We had read the story of Oliver's Restaurant. (see previous post here) Today we added some of the elements in the story such as:

• water in our bird bath
• seed in our bird feeder
• we unmoulded our special bird pudding and placed it in our favourite tree in the Bush Tucker Garden.

Then armed with our bird book and a chart about birds in our part of Australia, we sat very quietly in our nearby Peace Garden to see who came to our restaurant. We heard and saw many birds but no birds availed themselves of our feast. Behind where we were sitting, were many birds taking a dip in our frog habitat pond so we are sure they will discover our restaurant soon.
We plan further activity and food items for our bird attracting area so stay posted!

We now have a register for students to fill in to record the name and description of the bird they see and when and where they were sighted.
Have you conducted an audit of the birds in your school grounds?
