"It's both terrifying and fascinating. The school's response to the buzzard's visits has transformed what could have been a detrimental experience into a valuable learning moment."
"Headteacher Stella McCarthy highlights the dual nature of the experience with Brenda, saying, 'You think, what a beautiful bird. But when you're outside... you know she's coming down.'"
A buzzard known as Brenda has been causing chaos at Dame Tipping Church of England primary school in Havering-atte-Bower, London, forcing students indoors due to her dive-bombing behavior. Headteacher Stella McCarthy describes the bird as a 'beautiful' yet intimidating presence, emphasizing the concerns faced by both pupils and local residents. In a creative twist, the school has turned this challenging situation into a learning opportunity about birds of prey. To ensure safety, children are now being bussed to a nearby school for outdoor activities as protective measures like using makeshift umbrellas have been suggested for locals.
