Everyone welcome! # Year 3-The Big Winter Wander and Birdwatching, ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-20F3A04E-DAB2-496B-88B8-73FBFA72579F.png) 10 February 2026 Year 3 enjoyed a fantastic afternoon participating in The Big Winter Wander! While completing their sponsored walk for the WWF, the children also took part in the RSPB Big Schools Birdwatch. They did an amazing job identifying different species around the school grounds and recording their findings to help track our local bird populations. While on the route, the children also spoke to a member of the council about the location where they will be planting their very own tree this Thursday! It was a wonderful afternoon of nature-focused learning and preparation for our upcoming sustainability project.
