Bird - Fact File 2 - Year 1

The 'Bird - Fact File 2' is an educational resource tailored for Year 1 pupils, aimed at fostering an interest in ornithology and botany. The fact file format encourages children to explore and document various bird species. It prompts them to record the name of a bird and then complement this information with a drawing or picture of the bird's nest and eggs. This interactive approach helps to engage the students and allows them to express their findings creatively.

Further enriching their learning experience, the fact file also prompts inquiry into the relationship between birds and plants by asking students to research and note down the different parts of plants and to identify which birds are associated with them. This could lead to discussions about birds that may feed on seeds, pollinate flowers, or even those that use plant materials to build their nests. The activity also includes a challenge for the children to reflect on how many bird species they can recognise, which can encourage them to observe wildlife more closely and to develop their identification skills.
