KS2 Eco Club
Our latest Eco project is to create a wildlife area on our KS2 playround. Whilst we are designing it, we will plant lots of bulbs so we can enjoy some Spring flowers. I wonder what British wildlife we will attract!
Here we are looking at the wildlife area we are going to develop.
The Big Garden Birdwatch

Once you have done the Big British Birdwatch, all you need to do is send in your results online. Just scroll down to the bottom of the webpage on the link ABOVE and click SUBMIT YOUR RESULTS. Easy peesy!
We have attached some documents below to help you identify the birds you see and also a HOW TO GUIDE.
If you click on the link below, there is also a nice little quiz - 'Which garden bird are you?' Take the quiz and let us know! We will do it too!

There are also some tips and advice from a famous photographer called Ben Andrew, who will tell you how to take the perfect photograph of the birds you see during the Big Garden Birdwatch. We'd absolutely LOVE to see any photographs you take.

Good luck and happy bird spotting!
KS2 Eco Clubs have been hard at work making bird feeders ready for the winter.
Seed planting - Eco club have planted flowers seeds in egg boxes to grow seedlings that we can plant out in Spring. We are also have a friendly competition to see who can grow the tallest sunflower... watch this space!
Bird Feeders!
Eco club have been busy making Bird Feeders out of recycled materials. We researched designs and used recycled materials to make our 'Bird Themed' Bird Feeders. We hope the Birds enjoy using them over the cold winter months! Here are some photos.
Eco club had a fantastic time making our own Bug Hotel 'Bug-ingham Palace'! Thank you so much to all the parents and carers who sent in items for us to use. We hope you are as impressed as the bugs who are enjoying their stay!
Eco club have been really busy tidying the inner garden and planting bulbs in our new planter.
We have fish and a very shy frog in our pond.
