I can’t wait for the evenings to get a bit lighter but here’s something you can try while dusk is still quite early in the evening. We live in a noisy world, televisions and radios blare at us. Cars and busses zoom past us as we walk along the street. Nature makes lots of noises too but we have to be quiet ourselves if we want to hear them.
Find a quiet spot outdoors, it could be your garden, a park or in the countryside and as it gets dark, ask your children to be quiet and to listen to the sounds the birds make while they are going to bed. Sometimes they make quite a racket! Especially the crows as they fight over the best roosts in the rookery. Don’t worry if your little ones can’t keep it up for very long, it’s really hard to be quiet when you are small.
How many different noises did you hear?
