"Storks' village"
Children observed storks and their nest in pictures and then they went to see a real stork nest in the village. Where do birds make their nests? Is it easy to make a nest? Children observed where the storks in the village have made their nests.
After that they took paper rolls and turned them into poles. Then they carefully examined what materials storks use to make their nests and tried to make themselves. The "house" was ready, now was the real time for storks to arrive. Each child made its own stork and put it in the nest.
It turned out to be storks' village.
BIRDS' NESTS AND EGGS
After reading a national folk-tale "How pigeon made its nest", the teacher asked children to examine carefully from what material birds make their nests. Our teacher Taiga has quite big collection of birds' nests.
After examining and naming all the materials, children went to the forest and picked all the necessary materials so that they could make nest. After that they put eggs there to see if their nest is durable or rare and unsustainable like the one that the pigeon had.
Bird watchers
When warmer spring days arrived together with migratory birds, Hedgehog group went to observe those with binoculars and to listen to the diverse songs of heralds of spring. Teacher Taiga told stories about each of those birds, their looks, how they got their songs and other interesting facts.
A Treat for our Friends
When speaking about birds in winter, our children thought how we can help our flying friends. "Owlet" and "Hedgehog" groups decided to make a treat for them. They spread peanut butter aroud a paper roll and put seeds on them. They hang the treat in the fir tree near they group to see how birds like it.
The "Owlet" group instead of paper roll used fir tree cones.
