|Forest Schools Activity |Make your own bird’s nest. |

| | |

| |You will need: |

| |Plenty of twigs, grasses, straw and similar nesting materials |

| |An area to build your nest, indoors or outdoors |

| | |

| |1. Whilst on your daily walk/ exercise collect found materials, like those suggested in the list above. Find a quiet space and start to construct your own nest out of the found materials. Make your |

| |nest strong enough to hold and protect a small/ medium sized chicken’s egg. |

| | |

| |2. Extra challenge: Only use your index and middle fingers on one hand to pick up the materials, mimicking a beak! |

| | |

| |3. When you have made your nest, look on the internet for different types of nests made by birds in the UK. What different types of materials do different species of bird use? Are they the same |

| |materials that the children used to build their nest? |

| | |

| |4. You could also try putting the nests in a tree or bush in your garden to see if they remain stable. Remember to remove them afterwards. |

| | |

| |5. Dismantle your nest and leave the nesting material outside for birds to use! |

|Science |Make A Sundial. |

|Art |Design your own bird. |

| |You will need: |

| |Paper and colouring pens/ pencils |

| | |

| |1. Think of your favourite birds. What do you love about them? If you’re not sure, have a look at the Wildlife Trust website: |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| |2. Create a new species of bird with the features from these favourite birds, for example, with a robin’s red breast, a kingfisher’s long beak and a mallard’s big webbed toes! |

| | |

| |3. Give the bird a name and create a short fact file about them – think about: |

| | |

| |a. Where does the bird live? Does it live there all year round? In autumn, swallows from the UK make their way back to Africa to spend the colder months there! |

| |b. What kind of habitat does this bird like to make its home in? |

| |c. What does it eat? Does it have any special features, like an extra big beak, that helps it eat this? |

| |d. Can it fly? How does it get around? |

| |e. Does anything eat this bird - or is it top of the food chain? |

| | |

|Music |Using ‘Musiclab’ create a visual soundscape. |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| |This experiment is inspired by Wassily Kandinsky, an artist who compared painting to making music. It turns anything you draw – lines, circles, triangles, or scribbles – into sound. |

| |Have fun! |

|Reading |Keep reading! |

| |Try to read at least x5 times a week. It does not matter what you read, e.g. a newspaper, a magazine, online articles, a novel, a cookery book, Guinness Book of Records, as long as you choose reading |

| |sources that you are interested in. |

|Maths |Prime numbers. |

| |Watch the following recap on prime numbers and how to find them: |

| | |

This simple sundial clock is made from a paper plate, a pencil and a free printable clock-face template.

• Paint the back of the plate or leave it plain.

• Cut out the clock face and glue it on the back of the plate.

• Use a hammer and nail to punch a hole in the center.

• Stick a pencil through the hole—then head outdoors!

Be sure to position the sundial with the “12” pointing north to determine the current time.
