Preparatory work

Organization and holding of the environmental action "Help the birds!" Designed for students in grades 1-6. This event requires a large preliminary preparation. In advance, competitions for the best ecological leaflet and feeder are announced in the classes, it is proposed to prepare for the "bird" quiz. The guys prepare proverbs, sayings, poems on the topic of the action. Grade 9 students studying under the additional program "Nature through the eyes of the soul" spend class hours in grades 1-6 (Appendix 1), where they introduce the children to the birds of our region, make riddles for them, and make memos.

Equipment and materials.

An exhibition of feeders, environmental leaflets, a wall newspaper and posters: “It is difficult for birds to winter, we need to help the birds!”, “Birds are our friends, do not forget to feed them!”, “Help the birds in winter, they will delight you in spring!”. multimedia presentation, which accompanies the entire course of the action, different types bird feed, diplomas and prizes for the winners of competitions.

Progress

Student 1 . Man has long paid attention and cared for birds. Since in terms of beauty and brightness of outfits they are not inferior to butterflies, and many are still endowed with amazing voices. Covered with shiny feathers, cheerful frisky birds are considered an adornment of nature. Without birds, forests and steppes would be deserted, that fabulous music of nature that gives us so much pleasure would be hidden. Birds, like flowers, belong to those creations of nature that exist to give people joy, to serve as a constant object of their delight and sympathy. Birds gave humans the idea of flight by defying gravity millions of years before the first winged machines took to the air. Birds became the music teachers of our distant ancestors. We also love birds because they regularly, from year to year on their tireless wings, bring the long-awaited spring. Birds are our friends! They are of great benefit, exterminating harmful insects.

Student 2. It was a very difficult time for the birds, difficult to get food. Birds are not afraid of cold, but hunger is terrible. He is main reason bird deaths in winter time. During severe frosts, according to scientists, up to 90% of tits die, by spring, approximately 8-9 wintering birds die of starvation. Therefore, the birds need to help, feed them in the winter. (The game "Auction of words" is being held: The guys name the wintering and nomadic birds of our area. The one who says the last word wins. The winner receives a prize. Wintering birds: crow, magpie, dove, sparrow, raven, woodpeckers, owls, nuthatch, crossbill, nutcracker, tits, wood grouse, hazel grouse, black grouse, etc. Nomadic birds from the northern regions: bullfinches, waxwings, tap dances, carduelis). How many species of birds stay winter with us and some of them need our help.

Student 3. Guys! You have taken an active part in the competition for the manufacture of feeders. Many used to make feeders plastic bottles, juice boxes, some children were helped by their parents and they made wooden feeders, practical and durable. All well done! Do you know what should be the menu in the bird canteen? (Stage miniature:a student in a titmouse costume tells what types of food different birds prefer: seeds, bread crumbs, millet, wheat, cottage cheese, burdock seeds, oatmeal, boiled unsalted potatoes mixed with oatmeal or bran, grated carrots. Tits and woodpeckers love unsalted lard, bullfinches and waxwings - berries of mountain ash, viburnum, dog rose. The leftover products from our table will also do - pieces of porridge, boiled pasta, boiled potatoes, pieces of minced meat and even sausages. You can not feed the birds with rye bread and salted lard, because of this they can get sick and die.)

Teacher:

Now we are going to award. We want to thank everyone who did not remain indifferent to bird troubles and made a feeder. We decided to give the main prizes to those guys who worked hard, who spent time, who showed imagination, who attracted adults to make a feeder. These guys are the winners of our competition! The awards are made in the following categories:

"The most ecological"

"The most economical"

"The lightest"

"Most Practical"

"The most beautiful"

"The most unusual"

Teacher.

Guys, your attention is invited to a quiz about birds

Why is the woodpecker called the "helper" of other birds? (The woodpecker crushes the bark of trees and thus makes it easier for other birds to get food)..
Who sleeps during the day, flies at night, scares passers-by? Owl, owl.
Why did scientists justify the cuckoo, despite the fact that foundling cuckoos throw other chicks out of the nest? (The cuckoo is the only bird that eats hairy (poisonous and the most voracious, destroying acres of forest) caterpillars. No other bird touches these caterpillars.)
What other birds Ancient Greece used to send messages over long distances? (Pigeons. Pigeon mail exists in our time).
What is the main reason for the flight of birds to warmer climes with the advent of autumn? (Only because of the lack of food. Cold is not the reason for the flight. A hungry bird freezes, full - never.)
What birds come to us first in spring? (Rooks.)
Why do rooks “open” spring, and why do swallows arrive later than other birds? (Because of the way they feed. Rooks seek food in the soil, and swallows catch insects in flight. Insects in the air appear later, respectively, and swallows arrive later than other birds.)
Why migratory birds so in a hurry in the spring, but in the fall they are not in a hurry? (Birds do not fly away in autumn as long as there is food.)
Which birds don't fly at all? (Ostriches, penguins.)
What bird's chick does not know its mother? (Cuckoo chick.)
Where do crows sleep in winter and autumn? (On trees in gardens and parks, gathering in small flocks.)
What is the name of a male crow? (A crow, and a raven is a completely different bird, although they are relatives.)
Who rests sitting on the wires? If it flies low to the ground, it will rain. (Martin.)
What is the name of the meeting of two roosters? (Cockfighting.)
What time does the sparrow wake up? (Last of all birds, but always at the same time at 5-6 o'clock in the morning.)
What bird is the symbol of peace? (Pigeon)
What birds prepare food for the winter? (Jay, nutcracker, nuthatch)
What is worse for birds in winter - hunger or cold? (Hunger, cold is not terrible for them, because their body temperature is about 42 degrees)
Which bird breeds chicks in winter and why? (Klest, because it feeds on the seeds of coniferous trees, which ripen by the end of the year)
What bird can be called a "forest journalist"? (Magpie)
What bird is called a "feathered cat"? (owl)
Why should birds be protected? (Because they are of great benefit, destroying pests).
What bird helps to settle the cedar? (Kedrovka)
Bird-acrobatic of our forests. (Nuthatch)
The largest wintering chicken bird in our forests, which feeds on pine needles in winter. (Capercaillie)
The bird that comes to us with the first snow. (Bullfinch)
Which bird helps to sow the forest? (Kedrovka, jay, fieldfare thrushes, waxwings)

Then the winners of the leaflet competition are awarded.

Practical part of the action

Teacher.

Guys! I think that each of you understands the need to help birds. After all, it is not at all difficult to feed them on frosty winter days, and the remnants of food, pieces of bread are in every home. In order to draw the attention of all villagers to this problem, young ecologists have prepared and published environmental leaflets that can be attached to shops, post offices, and schools. Now the practical part of the action will begin, we will go to the Cordoba Forest and hang the feeders. Classes will receive leaflets to distribute to residents. In each class, it is necessary to choose those responsible for feeding the birds. Leftover groceries can be taken from the school cafeteria. Let's be kinder to each other and to our feathered friends. After all, our kindness will help save the lives of little birds that will delight us with sonorous songs in the spring.

(We go outside and hang the feeders, pour food into them

Attachment 1.

Classroom hour

"Birds in Winter"

The class hour is one of the events of the Help the Wintering Birds Campaign

Purpose of the event: expansion and enrichment of knowledge about wintering birds.

Event objectives:

to consolidate children's knowledge about wintering birds, about the role of man in the life of wintering birds;
to cultivate a desire to help birds in difficult times for them;
develop interest and love for environment native land.

The event was structured in such a way that every student took an active part. The class hour has a practical focus: the children prepared messages, leaflets, feeders, poems ..

MAIN PART.

organizational part. Words on the board:

"I can't calm the blizzard,

Don't melt the snow

But for the birds to sing

It's in my hands."

What time of the year is this quatrain talking about?

To whom is our Classroom hour?

Determine the theme of our work. ( Birds in winter).

Our class hour is held as part of the "Help the wintering birds" Campaign.

Knowledge update. Formulation of the problem.

Prepared students read E. Blaginina's poem "Frosts", the level of his perception is clarified.

1 student. Frosts are severe this year...

Anxious for the apple tree in our garden,

Anxious for the Bug:

In her kennel

The same frost

Like in the yard.

What is the weather like in winter? (frosty, cold).

2 student. But most of all I'm worried about the birds,

For our sparrows, jackdaws, tits:

After all, it is very cold in the air for them.

Can we help the defenseless?

Why worry about the birds? (they are cold, they are cold)

3 student . Let's help! They need to be fed, and then

They will easily survive the cold.

How can birds be saved from the cold? (they need to be fed).

How to help the birds in winter is a problem that we must solve.

What should we study today in order to properly organize assistance to birds?

Let's make a plan.

1. To study which birds winter in our village and region

2. Study what kind of food the birds eat.

3. Learn how you can organize help for the birds.

The solution of the task.

1. Conversation - Some birds eat only insects and caterpillars, others - plant food, but there are those that eat both: insects, berries, seeds, caterpillars - they are omnivores(sparrow, crow, dove, titmouse).

Which birds do you think are better adapted to life in nature? Why?(Omnivores - because with the disappearance of one food, they switch to another and survive - they are more viable)many of these birds stay with us for the winter - they are wintering.

What birds stay wintering in our village? (sparrows, doves, magpies, crows).

What birds come to the city for the winter? (tits, bullfinches, nuthatches, waxwings)

What do the birds that stay over the winter eat?

(They look for insects and their larvae hiding in the bark for the winter, eat buds, fruits and seeds of plants - mountain ash, maple, hawthorn, etc.)Is this food enough to feed all the birds left in the city? ( No).

Who can help the birds with food? (people).

Let's summarize the results of part 1 of our plan.

What birds winter in our village?

Everyone calls one bird at a time until they list all the birds wintering in the city.

Well done. Now we know which birds winter with us.

2. Let's move on to the second part of the plan. What should we know?

(What do different birds eat? What is suitable for treating birds?)

Children come up with projects about birds. (pre-prepared)

Sparrow. In winter, sparrows stay in flocks - it's easier to find food. Companion bird. Their cheerful chirping is always heard in the thaw. In cold weather, sparrows stay closer to human habitation - it is easier to get food there.

(Presentation of Tikhvin Kira).

What kind of treat can be prepared for sparrows, pigeons?

Tit. The tit is very mobile, moves rapidly in the branches, quickly examines them in search of food. With such mobility, she needs a lot of food. The titmouse is omnivorous, except for insects, it eats seeds, meat, fat, fish. It is interesting to observe how a titmouse, having found solid food, quickly flies up onto a branch and, holding a seed or something else between the toes of tenacious feet, quickly and accurately strikes a strong sharp beak, soon crushes the shell or shell of the seed. The motley outfit of the titmouse helps her to get lost among the sun glare in the branches. Her song is sonorous - “Tin-tin!” The tit is very smart: it easily breaks polyethylene, in which fish, meat, bacon are hung or put on the balcony; she easily opens bottles of milk and cream, eats butter.

Nuthatch. It has big toes with long, prehensile claws that hold onto the bark. long andsharp beak helps him pull out of holes and crevices inbark fodder. It is no coincidence that the coloring of the bird is light, the color of the back merges with the bark of aspen, poplar and other trees, and the bird is hardly noticeable. Let's try to guess why this bird was called a nuthatch?(She moves, clinging to the trunk, as if crawling along the bark, but she does it quickly).

Bullfinch. The bullfinch mainly feeds on berries and plant seeds.Frozen berries lend themselves well to a powerful, albeit short, beak. A flock of bullfinches looks very nice on the branches.

Waxwing. - What do you think, is it worth picking mountain ash, small apples to feed bullfinches, waxwings? (no, the birds themselves will eat them on the trees, no need to break the branches of mountain ash, apple trees, bird cherry, but you can put berries dried in the summer from the dacha)

So, many wintering birds eat different foods - this helps them survive the cold. The food of wintering birds is insects, worms, kidneys, seeds, berries; you should not give fresh bread. In extreme cold, birds huddle close to human habitation, where it is easier to find food. The paws, beak and coloration of birds are well adapted to obtaining food.

Consolidation of knowledge.

Tasks

Which bird hatches in winter?(Crossbill). What does she feed her chicks with?
Think about who this text is about

“The head of this bird is in a black cap, the back, wings and tail are dark, and the chest is bright yellow, as if dressed in a vest. In summer, she eats bugs, worms, and in winter she eats everything without food: various grains, bread crumbs, and boiled vegetables. But most of all she is a hunter for fresh unsalted fat.(Tit).

“A little boy in a gray Armenian coat darts around the yard, collecting crumbs.” ( Sparrow )

"Black-winged, red-breasted

And in the winter he will find shelter:

He is not afraid of a cold -

With the first snow right there" ( Bullfinch).

"White as snow,

Black as coal

Spinning, singing

It creates noise." (Magpie)

"Who flew to the feeder?"

I put a branch of dried mountain ash, bread crumbs, millet into a bird feeder, hung a small piece of bacon and began to observe.

First, small gray birds flew in a noisy flock. They chirped merrily and pecked at bread crumbs and millet. These were ( sparrows).

Behind them flew birds with yellow breasts and black ties. They squeaked thinly and swayed amusingly on a twine, on which pieces of lard hung. These were(titmouse).

When only one mountain ash remained on the feeder, the birds scattered. And then fluffy grayish-brown birds with red breasts flew up to her. The ends of the tail, wings and head were black and blue, and on the wings there were white stripes. After their visit, nothing remained on the branches. These were(bullfinches).

And after all, two white-black birds flew to the feeder, which, with their round curious eyes, looked at what was left after the guests? These were(magpies).

Well done. And now let's make a Memo "Help the wintering birds."

What can we do to help keep birds warm?

Memo.

Get people's attention. Draw pictures, flyers, newspapers.
Organize a bird canteen, regularly feed the birds.
Talk about your work, involve parents, relatives.

5. Reflection. Children take turns reading Mikhail Glazkov's poems "Share food with birds ...".

Crumble bread for them on a saucer.

Let them under the blizzard trouble

They won't lower their wings, they won't bend.

With small friends, countrymen,

If you value that friendship

And the hearts in your chest are not a stone.

So that they, as soon as the snow melts,

Flew over the water

To their nesting noisy flock.

And they will repay with a good song.

Well, life is more interesting with a song,

Until a hundred years old, you will all be young.

CONCLUSIONS. CONCLUSIONS.

Class hour "Birds in winter" is one of the events of the "Help the wintering birds" Campaign. The goal was to draw attention to the problems of wintering birds, to generalize ideas about the birds wintering in our village (often found, the most common), to organize assistance to the birds, in the course of the conversation, to explain to children what to feed the birds. I think that the event held contributed to the formation of the desire of students to take part in the Action, to provide all possible assistance, to save the lives of birds.

The material is intended for educators, teachers, parents.

"Feed the birds in winter
Let from all over
They will flock to you, like home,
Stakes on the porch.
Their food is not rich
One handful is needed
One handful - and not terrible
They will have winter.
How many die them - do not count

And the birds are warm.
Is it possible to forget:
Could fly away
And stayed for the winter
Along with people.
Train the birds in the cold
To your window
So that without songs it was not necessary
We welcome spring

Tasks:
- expand children's ideas about birds,
about the conditions of their life, continue to teach to recognize birds by their appearance, habits, singing;
- to consolidate the concept of the need to help birds in the cold season;
- instill kindness in children, teach them to take care of birds, watch them,
experience the joy of knowing that by feeding the birds, you can save them from death.

This famous poem by Alexander Yashin was written in 1967.
Much has changed in people's lives during this time, but, as before, birds need our help in winter.
Indeed, winter is a difficult time for birds, especially if it is harsh and snowy. A hungry bird suffers greatly from the cold. It is necessary to support the birds in winter, to do for them
feeders and do not forget to add food to them.
Winter feeding of birds is a rather old tradition. The first initiators of it were the birds themselves. They quickly learned that near human dwellings you can get hold of something. In winter, even forest birds begin to reach out to human habitation. Hunger makes you forget about natural caution for a while.
Feeding wintering birds benefits not only birds, but also in the education and upbringing of children. Through conversations, cognitive activities and observations, children learn about the different types of birds in their area, learn the characteristic features of their appearance, behavior, learn to take care of the birds, experience the joy of realizing that by sharing the crumbs, feeding the birds, you can save them from death.
Children willingly participate in organizing and conducting feeding of wintering birds: they make feeders together with their parents, collect food and develop a “bird menu”.
It has already become a tradition to hold the campaign “Feed the birds in winter! ” and “From each grain”, thereby instilling in children a love for all living things,

1.Campaign “Feed the birds in winter! »
Her purpose is the production of feeders by children together with their parents, their placement on the territory kindergarten, organization of duty in the "bird canteen".
Parents and children are responsible for serious and the right thing- production of feeders. They make them from waste and natural material.

2.Action "From each grain."
Her goal: collecting food for birds, systematic replenishment of feeders with food collected during the action.
Children and their parents bring a variety of bird food: millet, buckwheat, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cookies, crackers, etc.).
Children didn't just participate in hanging tree feeders. The time spent in nature became a small holiday for them: the children fed the birds with pre-prepared treats, recited poems and solved riddles about birds.

Children take care of the birds and are on duty every day in the "Bird Canteen", cleaning and touching up the feeders, replenishing them with the collected food. And the birds are happy, they flock from all sides, they really like this reception.
Watching the birds, the children noticed that by replenishing the feeders in the same place and at the same time, the birds get used to constant feeding places and visit them with the accuracy of hours.
Every day we added different food to the feeders. Sparrows were the first to notice the feeders. At first, they cautiously flew up to the feeders, looked around for a long time, but gradually got used to it and stopped being afraid of children. Once the titmouse arrived. It turned out that titmouse and sparrows are different from each other. Sometimes magpies and crows fly in, once even bullfinches flew in, but pigeons are the most frequent guests.
Sparrows and pigeons arrive in flocks, and titmouse 2-3, magpies and crows one by one.
Birds do not fly on windy days.
Feeding troughs were visited by 6 species of birds during the observation period. These are sparrows, tits, pigeons, bullfinches, crows and magpies.
The result of good feeding is that flocks of birds, waiting for food, stay on the kindergarten site, waiting for it. And in order for the children to know the name of this or that visitor to the feeder, what he likes to eat, we studied books with images of birds and tips, watched a number of presentations about wintering birds, conducted cognitive classes, and discussions.
Daily feeding of birds on the site creates good conditions for systematic observation. The cycle of observations can develop in different ways depending on the behavior of specific birds (some feed, others only watch the rest).

Observation 1. "What birds fly to the feeder?"
Target: to teach children, looking at birds, to distinguish them by size, plumage color, sounds made; get to know their names.

Observation 2. "We are looking for bird tracks."
Target: establish that different traces remain on the freshly fallen snow: from people, animals; bird tracks look like crosses, they can be used to find out which birds were on the site and what they were doing.

Observation 3. "How do birds move on the ground?" (Assignment to children for self-observation.)
Target: to teach children to notice the features of the movement of birds on the ground: a crow walks with long steps - its legs are longer than those of a sparrow and a dove, a sparrow jumps on two legs; the dove makes frequent steps, leaving a beautiful chain of "crosses" in the snow. Traces
can suddenly break off, which means that the bird has taken off, leaving traces of open wings and tail.

Observation 4: "How do birds fly?"
Target: draw the children's attention to the fact that birds in flight look different than on the ground: their wings are wide open, their tail, neck and legs are extended. Birds fly because they flap their wings against the air; birds can fly without flapping their wings - to plan, in this case they lose height and gradually decrease. Sitting on the ground, trees, the roof of the house, the bird folds its wings and tail so that they do not interfere.

Observation 5. "When are birds visible?"
Target: to acquaint children with the ability of birds to hide, with their camouflage color: birds are clearly visible against the background of the sky, snow, when they fly or walk; it is difficult to notice them when they hide, sitting on the branches of trees, bushes, sparrows become especially invisible.
During the actions, the children realized that they were doing a good job - helping the birds to survive in the most difficult time of the year.
