Green Flag - Biodiversity

We are working towards achieving our 5th Green Flag. The theme is biodiversity. As part of this we are trying to encourage more birds to visit our school. On Friday we made our own bird feed balls. First we softened some lard in the microwave. Then we mixed some bird seeds with the softened lard. Next we place a piece of string in our hand and wrapped a ball of bird feed mix around it. We then chilled the bird feed balls in the fridge. Finally we hung the balls up on high branches of trees (so the cats don't get them!) around the school.
