The students of Class 2 participated in an interactive, hands-on learning activity today where they had the unique opportunity to observe a real bird. This allowed them to closely examine the bird’s physical features—from its soft feathers to its sturdy claws—while understanding how each part helps the bird survive.

​Key concepts learnt through today’s activity:

• ​External Anatomy & Observation: Students identified the main parts of a bird, including the head, trunk and tail through direct observation and gentle touch.
• ​Feather Specialization: Students felt the difference between the soft feathers on the breast (for warmth) and the long feathers on the wings (for flight), understanding that a bird’s body is entirely covered with feathers for protection.
• ​Adaptations for Survival: Students observed the claws, discovering how their shapes help the bird onto branches and how the beak serves as the bird’s “hand” for eating, grooming, and building nests.
• ​Classification & Movement: The activity introduced students to how birds move using their wings for flight and legs for perching or walking, distinguishing them from other animals.
