BOTD - Long-Tailed Tit

News from Birdwatching Club:
Between the snow flurries today we managed to see a few birds in the wildlife garden including my favourite the long-tailed tit plus a blue tit, robin, wood pigeons, two collared doves and a blackbird.

This mummy long-tailed tit certainly has her hands full!



 

Waste Week 11-15th March

Fed up of buying cling film or plastic sandwich bags for lunch boxes? Want to find a more eco alternative? The answer is the Onya reuseable sandwich wrap! They come in a range of gorgeous colours and keep any size of sandwich fresh all day.... Plus there is no waste as it is entirely reuseable. As part of Waste Week (11-15th March), we are selling these sandwich wraps in school at the bargain price of £4 each (RRP £6), available from Mrs Longmoor or Mrs Padley on the playground before school or from the office.

 

 

Rag Bag textile recycling

Our Rag Bag textile recycling bin has arrived! It is in the teachers's car park close to the main entrance to school. Please donate your old clothes, paired shoes and soft toys for recycling and reuse. The school receives a payment per kg that is collected. Rag Bag bags are available from the school office. Thank you.

 

 

 

Bird of the Day - the Wren and the Goldfinch

Two sessions of birdwatching club today and an excellent amount of birds seen. They were:

1 wood pigeon
1 collared dove
1 robin
1 coal tit
1 starling
1 blue tit
1 robin

and two birds chosen as Bird of the Day were the wren and the goldfinch.



Can you see that Jenny Wren always has her tail sticking up?

I always love to hear about birds you have seen outside school so well done to one pupil in Year 2 who recognised a long-tailed tit and could tell her mum what is was! Her mum was really impressed!

Until next time
