‘Over the last week we have had many visit from a very frien Dj Dyk (Wie
Weatalp. Today he even came to visit inside our classroom! At lunch time today we
were watching very carefully end quietly as the Djiai Didi hopped under our table and
was looking for food scraps. (RENNIN and #euwe decided they wanted to sketch
pictures ofthe bird. Ql and GMNBhad a great conversation about their bird baths and
bird feeders that they had at home.
Because ofthis interest, we decided to have a meeting about the Djid Dj after lunch,
We discussed what we had noticed about the bird and what we could do to care for
him. We spoke about how itis important not to feed the bird and make sure tat itis
still in i’s natural habitat an sourcing i's own food. BY thought we should make @
home for the Djidi Djidi. Arah thought a bird feeder would be a good idea. Tila and
GBRB spoke about using binoculars to watch the bicds MENU suggested we use the
internet to find more information about how to care forthe itd. NN resd us some
information about whet Didi Djs eat, how they make their nests and some oftheir
behaviours, we found out that they are very good at reusing and recycling materials to
build their nests! {TTS thought that t would be a good idea to
{rack the bid with @ comers. SEB suggested a drone would be a good way to do this.
Wiliam suggested we could make a robot Everyone had vety technical ideas about
how to track and record the Djid Dic.
Next we hed a vote on what to name the Dd Dj. We all made suggestions and then
had a vote. The Djici Dj is now named Du Parish Dancer! am suggested the name
DJ, SEED thought Parish was a good choice and TP liked Dancer. We decided to
sive ite frst name, middle name and last name to use as many of our suggestions as
possible. After our meeting Leche, SENSEI drew some designs of what 9
bird house might look like. They all agreed that t should be made from wood.
|'m looking forward to seeing where this project will take the Rainbow Mekers! They are
excited to do some bird watching next week.
