Bird - Fact File 1 - Year 1

The 'Bird - Fact File 1' is a resource designed for Year 1 students to explore and document information about birds. This fact file template encourages children to engage in research and observation, starting with the identification of a bird's name, which is followed by adding a picture of the bird for visual recognition. The file also prompts the students to describe the bird's nesting habits and the appearance of its eggs, fostering an understanding of avian life cycles and habitats.

In addition to gathering specific details about a particular bird, the fact file poses broader questions to stimulate curiosity and learning across subjects. Students are asked to consider the various parts of plants and to think about which birds they might be associated with, linking knowledge of botany with ornithology. The activity also includes a challenge for the children to reflect on how many different birds they can recognise, encouraging them to observe nature and develop their identification skills. This multidisciplinary approach helps to cultivate a deeper appreciation for wildlife and the environment among young learners.
