Learning Experience:

Children will match one of their bird anatomy picture cards (from a set of different bird anatomy, of different birds e.g. eagle’s wings, flamingo’s beak etc) to the teacher’s anatomy picture card of randomised birds parts (e.g. generic beak). Each child has a different set of bird anatomy picture cards and will compare them with their peers.

Learning Experience:

Teacher will introduce different beak shapes and their related functions pictorially. Children will have to match their own picture of one of the functions of beaks (nectar feeder) to the beak shape (thin beak) shown by the teacher. Each child has a different picture of a function of beaks and will discuss whether the match is correct and compare the different beaks.

Learning Experience:

Children will listen to a bird sound (squawking, chirping, honking, trill, buzz, rich or thin) and match the correct bird card (from a stack of different birds) to the bird sound by placing the card on a worksheet. Children will also identify and differentiate between different types of bird sounds.

History. In 1870, the idea for the feather duster was conceived in a broom factory in Jones County, Iowa, U.S. A farmer brought a bundle of turkey feathers into the factory asking if they could be used to assemble a brush. E. E. Hoag split them with a pocket knife and mounted them on a short broomstick.

Learning Experience:

Children will read the life cycle chart and recognise the changes and differences between each stage. They will then each dramatise a different stage of the life cycle in a randomised order, then arrange their friends in the correct order.

Learning Experience

Children will be comparing different bird eggs bought from the supermarket. They will observe and notice different attributes that make them similar or different. Children will then sort the eggs by the different attributes they identified. Teacher may extend their learning to point out attributes children may not know too.

LA: SEC

Learning Experience: Children will learn that some birds are endangered and it is important for us to conserve birds so that they do not extinct. They will discuss and share some ways they can help in conservation. Teacher will then say out a scenario (eg. You found a bird stuck in a plastic bag. What do you do?") and children will do a stop-motion of their follow-up actions.

Learning Experience:

Children will role play as birds, flapping their wings and making bird sounds.

With music and environmental sounds, they will dramatise seeds dispersal by birds when they eat “fruits” (plastic eggs) and drop the “seeds” (pom poms) when the music stops.
