After reading The Winter Bird by Kate Banks, the children in Egypt wanted to help the birds who are struggling to find food this winter. Therefore, we made bird feeders using natural materials. The children used a clove hitch knot to tie the string to the stick securely. We were so proud of the children’s determination and resilience with tricky knots.
Some children also enjoyed digging in the mud and looking at micro habitats. Aaliyah noticed some interesting marks in the bark which was evidence that a small creature had once used this as their home. Other children enjoyed digging for worms and could explain why the worms liked living in the mud.
The slack line was also used by many to practise their balancing skills. The children showed excellent turn-taking, teamwork and encouragement for their peers. 🌿🍃🌳 🦅
