Heey everyone,
I'm typing this while at my internship. I've got nothing to do for an hour or so, so I thought... let's work on school! Sooooooo yet again an article. ^^

Summary:
170+ pupils are using pigeons to improve their overall skills like numeracy and literacy skills.
Every class has their own adopted pigeon and they will study the flight paths, plot wind speeds and follow the races on the internet. Pupil care about the pigeons, and when they were asked to write about something interesting in the last year, more than 50 percent wrote about the pigeons. Lynn Hudson, head teacher, said: "This just shows how much impact the initiative has had in a very short space of time." This can help the children with problems they normally have with numeracy and literacy skills.

My opinion:
It is very interesting to see that pigeons can help people with developping skills. I agree, it's interesting for the pupils, but what the hey, everything is better than 'that stupid math lesson'. This way, the pupils can really try out what they have learned in school, so even pupils who have a hard time, are given a chance. This is a little bit of the future because you can learn better doing the things you learn than just sitting in a chair, watching some teachers telling you something. I really like these kind of teaching methods.
