Bird Houses

As part of our Biological Science and Design and Technology unit, we created some amazing bird houses. We had to think about characteristics of living things such as birds, as well as their needs and wants, to make sure our bird house design catered for all of these.

We decided that birds need:

- Air

- Warmth

- Shelter

- Food

- Water

We thought birds may want:

- Swing

- Perch

- A friend

- Something to play with

With all of these things in mind, we had 2 lessons to create our bird houses. We then put them outside our classroom and had to predict how many birds would come to our houses. Every hour we went out and checked our bird house to observe how many birds there were. If we didn’t see any birds, we had to think about why this might have been. After this we had to reflect on our bird house and see if we would change anything.

We had so much fun creating our bird houses. Check out our designs below!
