Bird House   This term in Design and Technologies, the children will be working on a very exciting project. They will be required to design and build a bird home. This will be completed in class.   We are looking for donations of materials that the children can choose from to make their bird house. Such as offcuts of timber, plywood, mdf, pine etc. We would also appreciate donations of nails and screws. All donations need to be sent into school by Monday 3rd August  (start of week 3). Please be assured that we will be following safety procedures when working with the wood/materials. Closer to the building of the bird houses, we will be asking interested parents to come and assist.   Thank you for your support, and we look forward to sharing our wonderful creations with you.
