Overview
Encouraging wildlife into school grounds can significantly enhance outdoor learning activities. Help the squirrels learn how the feeder works by initially propping open the lid with a stick. This process engages children in documenting wildlife behaviour and feeding habits, fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world and enhancing observation skills.
The squirrel feeder supports the Science curriculum by helping children identify common animals like squirrels. It demonstrates how habitats meet the basic needs of animals and aids in understanding animals' nutritional requirements and how factors like weather and changing seasons influence their behaviour.
The feeder, with its Perspex screen and lid, offers a hands-on experience, aligning with various curriculum topics and providing continuous learning opportunities throughout the year.
