In KG2B last week students designed and built bird houses. We gathered information on the needs of birds in the U.A.E and designed a house that would accommodate those needs. We also looked at the problem of predators and developed sketches of our model to solve this problem. We observed which materials would be best suited. The students engineered their houses independently and I am so proud of their finished products!
