After creating some imaginative birds, we decided to see how well they could fly...
We started with a low zip wire and found they needed a bit of a push...
How about we start them a bit higher...
They went much quicker and smoother...
How about short and steep was another suggestion...
They flew down this one...
But what about a triangle...
Or a square...
Then home to roost...
Today we were lucky enough to visit Slimbridge and as you will see, we had an amazing time...
We began our day feeding the birds, some of them were very friendly!
We looked at how webbed feet help birds walk on soft ground and sand, as well as helping them to swim. We also learned that we have webbing too - between our thumb and forefinger!
We compared birds feathers to the clothes we wear to keep us warm...
and investigated the food we eat compared to those of the birds...
After this we explored the birds and wildlife as we went on a scavenger hunt...
