Bird seed mix
This week in Barn owls Scarning the children have been creating their own special bird seed mix, as we have focussing on nature around us. We have been discussing about how birds find it harder to eat in the winter months, so we need to help them. The children discussed about what birds like to eat with their familiar adults, then they were able to independently choose what to add to their mix from a selection of; bird seed, meal worms, oats, cornflakes and raisins. The children were practising their counting skills, counting out how many handfuls of each food item they were putting in their bags. They have also been practicing writing their names on the food bags before creating their mix. This activity created lots of great communication, discussions and questions from the children between themselves, their familiar adults and their peers.
“I help my nanna feed her chickens with worms, the ducks are greedy and eat all the worms”.
“Is this enough Mica?”.
“Can I do one?”.
“Bird seed”.
“Worms”.
“One, two, three”.
“Birds live in my garden”.
Well done Barn Owls, the birds will enjoy eating your bird food!
