Room 17's Native Bird Market.

A big thank you for all the delicious goodies you sent in. The children's bird market was a great success. At the beginning of the CIB the children did a survey of the animals we could find around school and we realized that there weren't many different types of birds in our school grounds.

The children wanted to try and solve this problem. We have learnt a lot about what a native bird is. What native birds like to eat and where they like to live.
We found out that the best way to get more native birds was to plant  native trees that they like to eat.

The children have been very excited about raising money to buy the native trees and we had a fantastic bird market today!

We have sold lots of bird feeders too, so hopefully the birds will be getting an extra snack to help them through the winter.
