The Bird Road ...The End?
The children needed more rocks for the road for the birds! Off we went on a search for rocks. We found small ones and large ones. Whew, some of them wouldn’t budge no matter how hard we tried or how many friends we got to help. Children filled up their arms with as many as they could carry and dumped them into the wheelbarrow. As the we collected the children were enthusiastic to show each other the rocks they found. We returned to the Centre with many rocks to continue building the road for the birds. The children made the road longer and added twists and turns.
We revisited the documentation of the children’s comments of the materials they wanted to use to build the roads. In addition to rocks they had suggested plastic and wood. Clear plastic strips and wood pieces were provided to them. As the children were adding these materials to the roads, there were birds singing in the woods nearby.
We all stopped and the children could hear the birds singing. Some children went to the fence to try and see the birds in the trees. We couldn’t see them.
Suddenly several birds showed up and landed on the fence.
Hooray, the road worked, the birds had come.
