Bird Watching Day
Vigo Village School Bird-watching Day
On Wednesday 23rd January, we are going to have a bird watching day. For an hour in the morning, everyone will be looking out of their windows, and trying to work which birds are which. The results will go towards the R.S.P.B.’s bird-watching survey. We have used a donation from the P.T.F.A. to buy feeders and bird food that should encourage the birds to visit (that was Kariss’ idea).
After the bird-watch, we will be doing some bird-related activities. One of them will be to make a model bird using only junk materials. The winner from each class will receive a prize, and be entered for the ‘Junk Bird Competition’ which is being run by Millbrook garden centre in Gravesend.
We would like you to collect all your junk materials that can be used to make the birds. Please bring anything suitable like boxes and plastic bottles – no metal or glass – to your classroom in plastic bags. If you would like to use anything that you bring in for your model, make sure you label it and keep it separate from everything else. You can start bringing the junk in tomorrow. In particular, can you bring in as many yoghurt pots that you can, but we won’t tell you why.
Hope you enjoy the day

We have already set up several different types of bird feeders which, at the moment, the squirrels seem to be enjoying.
