Here are a couple more ideas that you can do at home.
Make a loo roll bird feeder
You can make this bird feeder with items you probably already have at home.
You will need:
- 1 cardboard tube
- Peanut butter
- Bird seed
- String
1. Cover a cardboard tube in peanut butter.
2. Roll it in bird seed and thread some string through the hole.
3. Tie it up in your garden or on your windowsill, where the birds will feel safe eating.
Now the fun begins!
Why not keep a diary of how many birds you can spot. Below is a website that you will find useful.

Knot of the week
We thought it would be fun to teach you a new knot each week, which you can use at home but also when we return to Forest School in the future.
Timber Hitch
The timber hitch knot is great for pulling a log or a stack of sticks. This knot locks when you apply pressure by pulling an object, but practically falls apart when you release the rope. The timber hitch is especially good for putting up a tarpaulin, shelter or hammock. You can attach one side to a tree and know that it is secure. It is particularly good as it is self-tightening and easy to undo.
GREAT FOR MAKING CAMPS IN THE GARDEN!
