Nest building

Recently we went up to Muddisdale woods to see how easy it is to build a nest

We worked in pairs and used the same sort of things that birds would use.

First we tried to find a suitable place to build our nests.
A fork in the tree seemed a good place to start.

We have two hands to work with but birds only have their beaks.

It wasn't as easy as we thought.  Our nests had to stay in place even when we gave the tree a little shake.

We decided as a class that it was important for us to celebrate the Royal Wedding. We got dressed up especially for the day.

We didn't party all day! We started the day by working in groups to draw our own maps of London, which we will use later for our Maths.

We had our own wedding lunch in the classroom. It was fun, although Ms Rendall did need to hoover the carpet afterwards!

In the afternoon we had the wedding reception. This included listening to a song some of the class had written especially for the wedding, dancing the Grand March and Strip the Willow, followed by some games and more food before hometime!

We all had a good day, and hopefully this will be a happy memory to have for a long time!
