The pre-school age group category title for the selection of entries above was ‘’Birds”. We had to consider what kind of birds we see each day, what do birds eat? where do they sleep? What is the smallest & biggest bird you can think of? We then looked at a painting by Joseph Crawhall ‘The White Drake’ (1895) which is in the collection of The National Gallery of Scotland.
The children were all able to talk about ducks which they had seen, how they walked, what ducks sound like & the environment in which they live.
These ducks are all very characterful & can be seen waddling around amongst grass & water.
