Birdwatching for National Bird Week

On Friday 4 May the entire prep school went birdwatching on Leisure Isle which is on the lagoon and has a wealth of birdlife including a large selection of waterbirds. We set off along the walkers path armed with birdlists, binoculars, pencils and cameras. Small groups of children excitedly pointed out various birds and attempted to count them. The highlight for me was a beautiful fisheagle soaring overhead. The fisheagle is the bird of the year so I felt privilaged to see it. After we had our lunch Mrs Abbot organised the children into teams for a dodgeball game. After that it was back to school and we all made woodpeckers that bounce along a piece of elastic. Such fun!
