Bird
watching challenge!
We
are Steven and Ben and we are part of Stour links project. We were
challenged to find how many different varieties and numbers of birds could
be spotted by 32 children in the area of Stalbridge over February’s half
term.
This
picture above shows the graph we drew from the 32 children in our class.
It shows the amounts of the different birds in order from most common to
the most rare. As there was lots of space we drew some pictures.
