Blackbirds PowerPoint Spring

This 41-slide Powerpoint about Blackbirds will help children to use the local environment throughout the year to explore and answer questions about animals in their habitat.
The Power Point teaches children:

• What they eat
• Where they live
• How they move
• How they are suited to their environment…
• How they nest
• and more!

It includes two brief video clips.
