Friday 22nd January

 
Happy Friday Rangers,

Visit virtual Forest School here
 
How did you get on last week with experiencing and helping nature? Did you find any birds or insects?

I went for a walk in the woods on Saturday with Daphne. I heard a beautiful bird song but I wasn’t sure what type of bird it was so I used the bird song identification clip that I put on the blog last Friday and managed to identify it. I felt quite pleased as I had learned something. The song was from a bird called a great tit and this is what they look like.


This is what they sound like Great tit bird song

From the pictures that you sent me it looks as though you had a great week experiencing nature Rangers. I saw lots of pictures of birds that you spotted. Well done. Some of you made bird food and lots of you discovered huge puddles so well done to all of you who went out for a walk or completed one of the activities indoors or outside. 

This week we are going to continue working towards achieving the  ‘wild challenges’ certificate from the RSPB. As you send pictures, drawings, or descriptions of the activities you have completed, I will add these to our Whaddon Forest School profile on the RSPB website and share the progress with you so you can see how we are doing. Please choose at least one activity to complete. You can do as many as you like and as often as you like throughout the week. Be sure to let me know how you got on.

Here are a few more Forest School activities you may enjoy:
Make a bug pot
Bark rubbing 

Last but not least
Dancing squirrel - Can you dance like a squirrel?
Hibernating hedgehogs - Did you know hedgehogs are hibernating this time of year? Do you know any other animals that hibernate?

Have a fabulous weekend. 
Take care everyone,
Love from Miss Swain and Daphne 


Here are some more Friday activities to keep you busy. Please remember the music  from Mrs McKee can be accessed by the links below anytime and do not need to be watched on a Friday! Please let us know if the resources are working at home and if there is anything Mrs McKee needs to tweak before next Friday. 






Wishing you a wonderfully busy Friday and a relaxing weekend Squirrels! Love from Miss Cartwright
