This term (post lockdown) Room 5 has been learning about the birds that live in our Dunedin City area. In particular we have been finding out what sort of food our native birds need to help get them through our particularly chilly winters. As part of our learning, each child is in a group to work on designing a native bird feeding system for their group.
Your child may have already talked to you about what they need to help them design their system. As well, we would like to have a class collection to help each other with trickier items. In particular we need:
wire / old wire coathangers etc
plastic bottles and lids
plastic - containers / bowls/ cups/ ice cream containers/ yogurt containers
wooden dowels / sticks / thin boards etc
nails (including bigger sized nails)
duct tape / plumbers tape
String / twine
If you have any of the above, or any other items that you think would be suitable for outside bird feeding systems, please bring them to school over the next few days!
