What we did to attract birds to our school - Worksheet - Year 1

In a creative and educational project aimed at Year 1 students, a worksheet outlines the steps taken to attract birds to their school. The initiative is broken down into three key stages: Planning, Doing, and Evaluation. During the Planning Stage, students brainstorm and document their ideas through pictures, laying the groundwork for their bird-friendly project. This visual approach helps the children to conceptualise and share their thoughts on how to make the school environment more inviting for birds.

Proceeding to the Doing Stage, the students put their plans into action, likely involving activities such as setting up bird feeders, planting bird-attracting flora, or creating bird baths. The Evaluation Stage prompts students to reflect on the outcomes of their efforts. Additionally, the worksheet encourages educational exploration with questions like "What are the different parts of plants called?" and "Which birds do you know?", fostering a connection between the natural world and their own observations. It also challenges them to recognise and count different bird species, turning the activity into both a scientific inquiry and a numeracy exercise. The worksheet is a resource from Focus Education (UK) Ltd, designed to engage young learners in environmental stewardship and wildlife appreciation.
