Birds nest

Reading a story together during continuous provision. Emma heard the boys discussing a birds nest. Emma told the boys that she had found a birds nest in the playground 

They went outside to have a look at a real birds nest

We collected twigs and leaves to make a nest for the birds. *** noticed that the leaves in the story were brown but the leaves we collected were green. This sparked an in depth conversation about seasons and why leaves turn brown in autumn.  

Understanding the world: The World - 

•Shows care and concern for living things and the environment

•Can talk about some of the things they have observed

We will leave this out overnight to see if the birds use our nest.
