• 💡 How to use this resource in your classroom/setting

  Our FREE Birds: Pigeon Body Parts Posters & Activity is incredibly versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways across various early years and KS1 environments:

  • Focused Science Lesson: Use the full-colour poster as the central point for a discussion about birds. Talk about the different parts, their names (e.g., 'beak', 'wing', 'tail'), and their functions.

  • Differentiated Writing Activity:

    • For younger children or those just beginning to write, use the sheet with the initial sounds. This provides a great prompt for them to sound out and complete the word.

    • For children who are more confident with their writing, use the sheet with blank labels to challenge them to recall and write the words independently.

  • Observational Walk: Take the poster with you on a walk outside. Challenge children to spot a pigeon and see if they can identify its different body parts. This makes the learning more hands-on and real-world.

  • Display Aid: The poster can be used as a permanent part of a 'birds' or 'animals' display, serving as a visual aid for children to refer back to.

  • Vocabulary Building: The activity helps to build and consolidate new vocabulary related to the natural world.
