A big thank you to our Reception and Year 1 pupils who have taken part in the BIG School and Garden birdwatch this week. Last year, more than half a million people across the UK took part in the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch, and spotted more than 9.1 million birds between them.
Data about the types and numbers of birds spotted, gives the charity an enormous amount of information about which birds are doing well, and which ones might be struggling and in need of some extra help.
Sparrows were the most commonly sighted bird from 2024, however their numbers have fallen overall by nearly 60% since the first Big Garden Birdwatch in 1979.
It's estimated that 38 million birds have been lost from UK skies in the last 60 years.
The data collected by our children this year, helps conservationists understand how to better help protect certain bird species. Diolch Rec/Y1!
Our school Eco committee are committed to supporting the school with environmental issues and we thank them for all their hard work, it really is appreciated. Please keep sending in your old batteries to support their most recent initiative.
