Good morning Year 2,
I hope you are all still staying home and keeping safe. The other day Ms Dhana asked Year 1 to follow a link to the RSPB to listen to the birds singing and see whether they could identify which birds visited their gardens or outside their homes. Well I followed the link and discovered that I had several different varieties of birds visiting my garden. I have also been very lucky this year as a pair of Robins chose my garden to build a nest in, and I now have a whole family of robins hopping around when I’m outside gardening. Why don’t you give it a go and see how many types of birds you have heard?
