As you know the children have been very interested in the birds in our nursery garden and after creating nests for them last week, this week we have co constructed a story together as a group, learning about how a story is structured with a beginning, middle and an end and thinking about the characters within the story such as ‘sparrow tweet,tweet,’ baby bird and the egg. We also talked about the setting which was the nest.
The children thoroughly enjoyed offering their ideas to the shared story and it was wonderful to hear the children share their knowledge and understanding of birds built through thoughtful research and a range of rich hands on experiences.
This is our bird 🦅 story
Once upon a time there was a bird
She was making her nest in the trees
She put the sticks and the leaves and the rocks and the feather in her nest
The nest was very hot and soft
The bird found an egg. She sat on her egg
The egg crack
With her head
A baby chick came out, tweet, tweet
The baby chick said I want to eat
Mummy fly
Mummy bird get some snails and spiders and worms and cherries and tomatoes and ants
Baby said I want to sleep
And mummy bird said ‘ok go to sleep honey’
And then she sleeps and she wakes up and go to school
And then go back home
The End.
