Our Nature Space - another look at our Bird Corridor

Year Four have been using their artistic, scientific, mathematical and thinking, social and literacy skills to take a deep look at our "Bird Corridor"; a project on our Western boundary that was started in 2015 to attract more birds to our ecosystem.  The number of birds in an ecosystem is an indicator of it's health.

We used the Our Nature Spaces kit to guide our investigation, which included:
- studying the colours and textures
- mindful looking and listening
- studying the changing night sky above our nature space
- mapping and geo locating our naure space
- creating a giant poster photo of our nature space to annotate.
- finding minibeasts
- setting tracker tunnels to see if we have mammal pests

From our deep study Jackson suggested we enhance our bird corridor with a bug hotel.  Year Four worked together to make his idea a reality.  We used a recycled book case and natural materials we bought from home.

We're hoping also to include a bird/bee bath sculpture next to help our thirsty animals.
