Children concerned that their birds had no nest they came up with a plan to build a tree and attach nests for the birds to have their own home to be safe from predators. They used great theme work to work towards their goal. The children assigned themselves different jobs and gave the younger children jobs as well they used lots of language, fine and large motor skills, collaboration, problem solving skills and their enthusiasm to get their wonderful work done!

These are some comments from the children:

“We can make a tree!”

“ This sticks will make a great tree.”

“ I will go get a big paper, this paper we can use for the leaves.”

“ We will get some tape and build the tree for the bird the bird will be very happy to have a home.”
