Making Binoculars

For world garden bird watch week, Barn Owls Scarning have today enjoyed making their own binoculars. Barn owls used a variation of different craft materials to decorate their binoculars including felt tips, different coloured feathers, tissue paper and sequins !
Once all Barn owls had made their binoculars we went outside to explore the nature garden with some different species tick lists to see what we could find, we were very excited to find two birds nests in the trees
Barn owls sprinkled some of the bird seed we made last week onto the floor and we even got to watch a little robin come and munch some for his lunch
Well done Barn Owls Scarning
