The children at Agincourt School had a wonderful week of birds. The week started with a visit from the Welsh Birds of Prey Centre. This was an exciting educational afternoon that taught the children about birds of prey. Andy the beautiful Eurasian Eagle Owl was held by many of the children including two children from Nursery who were only just a little bigger than the owl themselves.

Tuesday saw the whole school making a bird cake feeder with children bringing seeds, raisins and scraps to add to the pounds of lard. Each child took home a cake to hang up for birds in their gardens. On Wednesday RSPB representative Mr Mike Collins talked to the children about Barn Owls. The children were fascinated by the dissection of owl pellets to reveal small animal bones and fur.

The children ended bird week with a baby owl feeding game, completing their individual bird books and a colouring competition. Mr Collins will award the prizes for the winner of the competition next week.
