Making a Birdbox

What you need: 140 cm of wood, 12-15ccm wide.

Saw

Hammer

Nails

Sand paper

Paint for decorating

Getting Started.• Collect a plank of wood and place it on the table.

• Measure out the wood: 25cm, 25cm, 25cm, 25 cm, 25cm, 8cm and 7cm.

• Mark the measurements with a pencil on the wood.

Process. After measuring the wood, cut off all the sections

using the saw.

Take turns to saw off the sections of wood.

When all the sections are cut, sand them down to ensure that they were smooth and of even surface.

Hold the wood in one hand and rub the uneven edges with sandpaper

By sanding them down, any uneven sides or stray chippings of wood were removed.

When all of the parts are sanded down, place the sides together to ensure the shape are correct and that all the measurements add up.

Then get a teacher to create a hole for the birds in one side of the house using a specialised tool.

Then connect all the pieces together using a hammer and nails.

End Product When all the parts are hammered tightly together,

decorate the bird house.

It is then ready to be placed in the garden for all the birds to visit!
