Today we asked Carlos if he could give us the two bird houses they have in “Comunitat de Petits”. We have explores what was it in the inside. It was surprising. Two nests made with hay and with some feathers!

We have speculated if that nest was big enough to lay eggs. Later some Alicies pointed out the fact that eggs could be much smaller than the ones we buy in a sumermarket if birds are smaller than hens.

After a conversation we decided that we are going to build some bird houses like the ones in “Comunitat de Petits”.

Since we have the Mayoress’ consent, we are going to hang them on the trees in front of the school. Therefore, we decided we should cound how many trees and how many nest there are in front of the school.

In general Alicies were really excited with this process.

Today we had a conversation around birds. Linking birds with the current project in Alicies we decided, that we could adapt the project to birds in an new question: How can we help birds?

Some Alicies pointed out that trees where necessary as well as a house or a nest. Finally, one Alicia said that water and food would be essencial.

After this conversation we decided to go at the “Comunitat de Petits” playgroud. There we found that there were trees and two houses for birds.

When we came back to the classroom we decided that we could help birds building a bird through.

We had a great conversation and the feeling of putting the projecrt on the track.

Today we had a conversation around endangered animals. Some Alicies pointed out that they felt angry and sad at the same time. However, they also said that it was a problem to be solved.

In the meantime, we started talking about an endangered animal in particular: the blue whale. They where amazed by its size. Since 30 meters is kind of a complex number to imagine, we have measured 30 meters in the corridor. Later, one Alicia said that we could check if all Alicies together would be able to cover that distance. It was almost 30 meters but a blue whale is still too long!

To finish, we have made a blue whale with a blue paper using origamy techniques.

Today we have been talking about how different nests are. Some are simply a bunch of twicks accurately assabled together, others are a hole or a cavity in any given material. There is something surprising, some birds only scarb a little soil or stones in order to make their nests. We got also surprised by the platforms and “islands” (mound nests) build by some birds. 

Afterwards we draw and paited the one we prefered.

Today we have talked about how birds can fly. There were many good comments. We have talked about their wings covered with feathers, their strong musles, their big lungs as well as their thin and hollow bones.

Later we followed a tutorial in order to make an origami bird. It was quite complex but in the end we succeded.
