Fantastic effort from new entrants Bree and Aria for the Yellow House – they worked hard at making some brilliant birdfeeders to put out in their garden – you earned the Yellows 20 points. Well done girls! For the Green House Ava and Zara were very busy making a very creative birdfeeder out of a milk carton that looked like a house – well done girls and 20 points for the Greens! Juala also earned another 10 points for the Greens by making a birdfeeder out of a plastic bottle - I'm sure the birds are very thankful for all this yummy food! Jonno made a fantastically creative diorama (if you don’t know what that is, because I didn’t either, check out the pictures below!) with some rubbish and earned the Red House 10 points. Sarah was also putting her artistic and creative talents to good use for the Blue House by making a ‘Don’t be mean, Keep the world clean’ poster – beautifully illustrated and such a catchy slogan! Another 10 points for the Blues!
Current totals are:
Green House = 90 points
Blue House = 40 points
Red House = 90 points
Yellow House = 80 points
So the Green and Red House are still in joint first place with 90 points but the Yellow House is not very far behind with 80 points. You can still enter as many times as you would like in the next 3 weeks! Have fun and stay safe!
