As part geography, the children in Bluebirds designed an instructional poster with advice about what to do in a flood. They looked at the dangers people and communities would face in a flood as well as the environmental impact a flood would have on the landscape.

Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life you’ll find in one area—the variety of animals, plants, fungi, and even micro-organisms like bacteria that make up our natural world. Each of these species and organisms work together in ecosystems, like an intricate web, to maintain balance and support life. Biodiversity supports everything in nature that we need to survive: food, clean water, medicine, and shelter.
The children first played a game where they place animals in different habitats: mountain/sea/rainforest/savanna. They learned through this that, although we think of penguins only living in the Antarctic in fact you can find some penguins in South America.

Seed Germination
Bluebirds have now just completed their experiment on how plants germinate. They have followed and observed cress for the last four days to find out what happens to seeds when they start to grow. As you can see all the children have learned so much just through observation. The children looked at the stages the seed went through, from the seed swelling, then splitting and finally the shoots emerging from the seed pod.
Amudha: I liked the experiment watching how the plant germinated. It changed day by day and we got to watch how the shoots grew longer.
