Birds

Literacy

Writing

Take a photo of a bird if you can see some around your house. If you can’t find any, you could use one of these pictures. Write a story about the bird with someone in your bubble, think about where it is, what the colours are, what it is doing and how the feathers might feel. You could get Mum to record your story, instead of writing it too.

You could even make a video.

Numeracy

Go on a bird hunt, either outside or watch out the window - how many can you count in 1min? 4mins? 10mins?!

You could list the names of the birds you see, and make a tally chart over a few days to show how many you have seen. This is an example to remind you what a tally chart is!
