The children found a dead baby bird in our outdoor area. They took some time to look at the bird and talked about what had happened to the bird. They thought that as the bird was with it's egg and it didn't have any feathers, that it probably had fallen out of the nest too early. There were also suggestions that a bigger bird may have tried to eat it.
They decided that we should bury it. They decorated a box to put it in and we had a funeral for it. Some children made cards and bunting. A child sang a song and some children said how it made them feel. We decided it would be a good idea to put a stone by the grave. It said 'blue bird'.
