Today, Year Six conducted our annual bird survey. Bird populations are an indicator of how healthy an environment is. Each class walked around the school for 40 minutes and noted down the biggest number of each species they saw on the official form.
Afterwards we recorded our data here so we can compare and contrast from previous years and reflect on how we can improve.
What do our results show?
Our results track with last year, so not improvement but no decline. The population of magpies is much bigger, which is a concern as they are aggressive to people and other birds.
How can we improve our bird numbers?
"Plant more trees" Maddy
"Give them food"Lucas F
"Like seeds" Justin
Manal "Give them water"
Taryn "Bird bath"
Evie "Make bird feeders"
Maddy "Make sugar water"
Room 1 told us they saw a kereru last week in the trees outside their room. How exctiting!
In Term 4 we can research the birds we'd like to attract and put some of these ideas into action.
Next time we have EfS we'll be visited by Auckland Emergency Management.
