Make Your Own Bird Feeder

The Boy woke up and made a spider - because that is always a good way to start the day.

Monkey Girl had a good look at a far away tree.

And then everyone designed their own bird feeders.

The boy made a peanut butter and seed tube.




And used a drill to make a wooden feeder.  Happy Boy ;)







Panda Girl used a seed and honey mix which she is freezing overnight ready to hang out tomorrow.


She also made a bottle feeder, using tape to cover sharp edges for the birds.  Because she's lovely.


Monkey Girl made a feeder with a perch.



And this is why we call her Monkey Girl.

Ballet Girl used a pre-cut piece of wood and kept the seeds in with peanut butter smeared inside.

And she also made two brilliant hanging tables: one with seeds and one with porridge.


I think they are all fantastic!  They are outside our classroom window so we can see if they are a success!


Ballet Girl and Monkey Girl spent a while doing some tree and fungus identification around the garden.

And they each tied a bag around a branch to catch water vapour from the leaves: a breathing tree!

Apple bobbing.  Catch your own snack.




After lunch we did poetry...


...my always determined but today under-the-weather daughter was adamant she wanted to persevere with her maths...

...activity books...

...trampolining class and then Lego before bedtime.

Phew! 'So pleased God invented sleeping.  G'night :)
