Animal adaptation - Different Beaks For Different Jobs

Today we were looking at why birds have different sorts of beaks. We used kitchen utensils to imitate a birds beak and the method they use to gather their food.

Using a bristly tongue to drink nectar from a flower

Collage Balloons construction


                              First we painted the grass and sky then used combs to give it texture
                                           Next we applied paper collage to  a balloon shape
                                                                After that we wove baskets
Lastly we used a hot glue gun to attach the basket to the balloon and glue on polystyrene to the back.                                                   We then attached the balloon to the background
