Writes Anne Davidson, Forest School Lead
Blending technology with nature, Forest School learning took flight today.
The boys have been learning about the lifecycle of birds, how they nest, how they survive, and how they adapt to the chill of an English winter.
Using a long-distance lens connected to an iPad, the boys were able to observe birds up close without disturbing them, enjoying a live view of everything from Ring-necked Parakeets to a fleeting Blue Tit and even the chance to spot birds not on their list, such as a Coot which quickly disappeared under the water.
Elsewhere in the woods, learning became hands-on. The boys set to work replicating how birds build nests, observing their handmade bird boxes and understanding what the birds get up to inside them.
