The project is contained in a red plastic (woven fabric effect) A4 ring binder. It is in good condition and looks fairly new. Inside, the pages consists largely of A4 sheets (lined filepaper, plain white typing paper, and the back of what appear to be sheets of paper from a workplace); these are enclosed, back to back, in transparent plastic sleeves, which are generally smooth and for the most part appear new (although some have four round indentations in the upper half which suggest that a heavy object on feet has been standing on top of them). The pages completely fill the binder; the project is quite a heavy object.
The pages contain a good deal of writing and drawing by the child. A wide range of materials are used for this. Most of the writing is in black biro, but crayon, pencil, and felt tips of different thicknesses are also used (in the notes below, it can be assumed that black biro is used unless otherwise stated). Corrections are sometimes made directly, in the same substance as the rest of the writing; sometimes very neat (barely visible) strokes of tippex are used. Within a single page, the handwriting often varies in the direction of the letters and the pressure applied; it is joined up, but can give the impression of being written slowly. Blue biro is used for the page numbers, which are written on small white sticky labels; in some the biro is slightly smudged, as if the label has become damp. Pencil lines are ruled for writing on a few pages.
Pencil, crayon, pastel crayon (possibly oil pastel), and felt tips are used for the drawings. Wax crayon may also have been used. These tools, particularly the pastel crayons, are controlled in different ways to create a variety of effects; the different textural patterns appear to result partly from using different parts of the tool and controlling it in different ways, and partly from the underlaying (possible intentionally, possibly not) of different kinds of surface materials beneath the working surface; clear boundaries between substances may have been produced by overlaying materials in order to mask a given area; layering of substances, one over the other creates an effect of depth, in terms of space, or intensity of colour.
There is a large amount of imported material (glossy cuttings from magazines, complete pages, photocopied pages, leaflets, postcards, photos and a membership card); these are inserted in different ways: as unmounted sheets (cut if necessary, to A4 size), as complete leaflets or magazines, either inserted loosely into the binder, or enclosed within a plastic sleeve; or as cuttings, stuck down firmly with glue, or occasionally with blue tack (in the notes below, it can be assumed that cuttings are stuck down with glue, unless otherwise indicated).
Spine:
In the plastic ‘pocket’ on the spine, the child’s name is written, in black felt tip, on the small piece of card provided with the binder. There is a semi-circular blob of blue ink (perhaps a doodle?) at the bottom of the piece of card, and some blue smudging, higher up near the name.
cover page [ next page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (cover)
This is the red cover of the binder; it contains no work by the child.
page 1 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (title page)
There is only one page in this sleeve. The paper is thick, good quality, watermarked. Two sheets have been used. The drawing has been done on a smaller, A5 size sheet, carefully cut out and stuck onto the other sheet. (On the back of the smaller sheet the word ‘contents’ is visible, in bubble writing, top left: part of an earlier rejected draft). The ridged lines of the watermarks run down the A4 sheet and across the A5 sheet. The drawing and words within the picture are carefully outlined in pencil and mostly coloured in with crayon (the watermarks are responsible for the white lines, where the crayon has not taken); the hole in the bird house has been worked very heavily in pencil, and fine black felt tip appears to have been used on the wings of the bird as well as for the words at the bottom of the page.
page 2 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (contents page)
The letters of the title are outlined in pencil and coloured in with alternating orange and pink felt tip. The drawing is outlined in felt tip and coloured in (softly, possibly using the side of the crayon?) with pastel crayon (possibly oil pastel?). Fine pencil lines are visible (eg beneath the drawings of the birds and the sun), indicating careful drafting. Notice the way in which the lines used to depict the tree have been carefully broken to fit between, around and behind the items on the contents list. The words in the list are in felt tip and the numbers in biro.
page 3 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 1)
This page contains imported material: two magazine cuttings, carefully arranged together with the child’s drawing, to form a complete ‘ picture’. Crayon marks can be seen on the edge of the cutting, indicating that it was stuck down before the drawing was completed. The drawing is outlined in felt tip and, except for the sun, coloured in with pastel crayon, using a variety of strokes. The different shades of green used to depict the grass are overlayed in the tree. Different shades of blue are used for the sky and clouds. The sun is coloured in with yellow felt tip (notice the slight smudging of brown and yellow around the edge).
page 4 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 2)
The plastic sleeve is a bit scuffed , suggesting that it has received a fair amount of handling or possibly previous use. This page contains imported material: a magazine cutting (the surface is slightly creased) framed by the child with orange felt tip. The words and picture are positioned against a background shaded with soft pastel crayon and framed in two shades of blue felt tip (notice the careful positioning of gaps around the words, suggesting that the frame was completed after the writing). The pastel crayon has been applied very softly; crayon marks are visible on top of the felt tip in the outer frame, suggesting that the crayon was added later. The subheadings are in fine green felt tip; the larger heading at the bottom is in thick brown felt tip.
page 5 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 3)
Words, frame and outlines of drawings are in felt tip. In the outer frame, the turquoise felt tip has been applied over the pink.. Words in title are outlined in pencil. Drawings are outlined in felt tip and coloured in with pastel crayon. Notice the different kinds of strokes used to depict the pattern of the egg (much heavier strokes in the ‘close up’ version). In the small drawings of birds and trees, at the bottom of the page, marks visible beneath the images, reveal that they were first made using a stamp (eg a rubber stamp) with black ink; the outlines are incomplete: the ink appears to have been running out. The regular positioning of the birds and trees indicates that they were both part of the same stamp; small rounded corner shaped marks to the lower left of each ‘set’ appear to have been left by the corner of the stamp and indicate that it is likely to have been about 2"x 3"in size.
page 6 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 4)
Tippex is used to make some corrections on this page (‘smaller’, ‘often’ line 2; ‘look’, line 8; ‘everywhere’’ line11; ‘pairs’, line17 ). Framing is in blue felt tip and green pastel crayon.
page 7 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 5)
This page contains imported material: magazine cuttings. Notice interesting textural pattern of crayon in background. Also note very straight lines marking boundary of red crayon, suggesting use of some kind of masking material (eg a sheet of paper or card). In the title, the letter ‘s’ is in biro only (not biro and felt tip like the rest of the title), and appears to have been added later, squashed into the available space.
page 8 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 6)
This page contains imported material: magazine cuttings; notice the different ways in which they have been cut out, two as rectangles (one with and one without a white frame) and one more irregularly, following the shapes of the objects depicted. The cutting at the top overlaps the one on the left. The one at the bottom has been torn rather than cut, down the left side. The arrows are in felt tip, the title , frame and background shading in pastel crayon (alternating shades of blue for letters and short (approx 2") sections of frame).
page 9 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 7)
Fine pencil lines have been ruled for guidance in writing. The drawing has been carefully constructed, using very fine pencil lines; a particularly hesitant stroke has been used for the rabbit and the bird (it looks a bit shaky); this is worth comparing with the much firmer stroke ued for the writing in the bubble, and the ‘smudging’ technique for the clouds. Also note the various ways in which crayon is used here eg the orange crayon used for the sun (very heavy) and the beak of the bird(very light), and the pale blue crayon used for the sky (softer side of pencil) and the wings of the bird (fine point of pencil).
page 10 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 8)
The title has been drafted in pencil, but apart from that all the work here is in felt tip. Notice the different ways in which the felt tip is applied: dots (produced using the tip of the pen), wriggly lines, short and long dashes, long continuous strokes, single layers or thick/ thin overlays. The purple felt tip looks very dry, as if it is running out.
page 11 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 9)
Title is outlined in pencil (erased line indicates alteration to word ‘tit’ in earlier draft) and coloured in with felt tip. Alternating pattern of turquoise and purple letters repeated in alternating (approx 2"intervals) sections of frame. Drawing is outlined in pencil, coloured in with crayon, note different strokes used in two drawings.
page 12 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 10)
This page consists of imported material; the page has been cut directly out of a book or magazine (there is a similar article about the willow tit on the reverse side, hidden from view, within the sleeve). It is quite good quality paper but is slightly yellowed around the edges and seems quite old; there is a slight brown stain along the top edge where the page has come into contact with some kind of liquid. The page has been cut down both sides; they are not quite straight. The page number sticker has been attached to the imported material.
page 13 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 11)
This page consists of imported material. It is much thinner paper than the previous page. It appears to have been cut out along the bottom and down each side. Note: there are no holes punched in this sheet; the white dots along the top are just designed to look like holes!
page 14 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 12)
Headings are outlined in biro and coloured in with felt tip. Drawings have been very carefully constructed using a sharp pencil; various attempts have been made to get the lower line of the beak ‘right’. The background has been shaded using the side of the crayon, and circular or straight movements, to create a range of broad, soft strokes (compare the top part of the tree and the area at the bottom of the page). The key has been written on a piece of plain paper, which has been cut out and stuck on top of an earlier version (the earlier draft is visible from the back of the sheet: in this version the key is framed within a very small box; the words are squashed into it, suggesting that the child drew the box first, then ran out of space). There are a few green crayon marks on the white paper, indicating that it was stuck down before the area at the bottom of the page was shaded. There is evidence of a slip of the felt tip, below and to the right of the tree.
page 15 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 13)
This page contains imported material: a magazine cutting. Subheadings are in fine green felt tip. Tippex is used to make corrections to the writing (‘occasionally’, line5; ‘sharp’, line9; ‘sign’, line 18; ‘longer’, line 27).
page 16 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 14)
The title is outlined in pencil and coloured in with felt tip. The outer frame is in blue and mauve felt tip, mirroring the alernating letters in the title. The inner frame (the outline of the tree) is in crayon; the top part is drafted in pencil. The two drawings of the egg are outlined in felt tip and coloured in with crayon. Overlapping layers of crayon are used to colour the background area. There is a small hole, top right, within the blue-grey outline of the tree; on the reverse side, a small flap of paper can be folded back to close the hole; blue-grey crayon marks on the flap reveal that the damage occurred after the tree had been drawn; it is not clear how the hole was formed (its size suggests that it could possibly have been created by the point of a crayon or pencil).
page 17 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 15)
This page contains imported material: three magazine cuttings. The purple, two sided frame is in felt tip.
page 18 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 16)
This page contains imported material: three magazine cuttings. Fine pencil lines have been ruled for guidance in writing. Tippex has been used to alter the words ‘their’ and ‘middles’ (second and third lines).
page 19 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 17)
This page contains imported material: three magazine cuttings. The cutting top left is positioned so that it slightly overlaps the one below. The title was written first in light green felt tip, then alternate letters rewritten in dark green directly on top of the first layer.
page 20 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 20)
This page contains imported material: three magazine cuttings. The cutting in the lower left of the page has been positioned so that it slightly overlaps the one on the right.
page 21 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 19)
This page contains imported material: a magazine cutting; the surface is quite wrinkled indicating use of a liquid glue. The title and first letter of the rest of the piece of writing are in felt tip; the letter ‘M’ is in a warmer, more corally shade of pink to the word ‘Sun’, which is more purply.
page 22 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 20)
The title is written in four different coloured felt tips, following a regular pattern: mauve, blue, green, pink. The drawing is in pencil and crayon. It appears to have been constructed speedily, using loose strokes.
page 23 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 21)
This page contains imported material: two magazine cuttings; the one on the right is positioned so that it slightly overlaps the one on the left. The title has been outlined in felt tip, then coloured in using the same colours. The background has been coloured in layers of orange, pink and blue crayon. A tiny crayon mark at the top of the right hand cutting indicates that it was positioned before the background was coloured in.
page 24 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 22)
The title is written in felt tip and the rest of the text in biro. The main areas of the drawing have been roughly drafted in pencil and coloured in using fast, loose strokes. The edge of the tree, and the different verses of the poem contained within it, are framed with continuous spiral - like strokes, in turquoise, light green and dark green felt tip. Pastel crayons are used to colour the sky, trees and grass. The sky is in blue, the large tree in a light green, the smaller tree in a slightly darker green and the grass in a mixture of the two greens. The larger tree trunk (including the circles depicting the pattern of the bark) is in a lighter shade of brown than the smaller one, but the door in the larger tree trunk is in the same darker shade as the smaller trunk. In contrast to the rest of the drawing, the tiny bird appears to have been drawn more slowly and carefully (erased pencil lines provide evidence of alteration to the left wing).
page 25 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 23)
The title is outlined in pencil and coloured in with felt tip. The egg sections have been outlined in pencil and coloured in with crayon; the speckly effect has been created using the sharp point of the crayons. The background is in pastel crayon. The greyish area top right appears to be the result of heavy shading using a blunt crayon or pencil; the surface has become shiny, smooth, soft and indented, as a result of the repeated pressure; it is also slightly scratched, which suggests that the wood around the lead was coming into contact with the paper.
page 26 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 24)
This page contains imported material: three magazine cuttings. A line has been lightly ruled in pencil, bottom right, suggesting that the child had intended to write something.
page 27 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 25)
This page consists of imported material. It is a photocopy of the reverse side of p12 (see notes on p12 for more information about the characteristics of the source material).
page 28 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 26)
This page contains imported material: a large postcard; it has been stuck down with bluetack at each corner; from the reverse side of the sheet it is possible to see through the paper and to read most of the message on the back of the card ( printed to look like a personal ‘thankyou’ note from the Chief Executive of the RSPB), but part of the message has been cut off down the side, indicating where the photo has been cut to size, along the bottom edge, and the right side. There is a tiny biro mark on the postcard, top left, where the full stop has overlapped onto the card, indicating that the writing was completed after the card had been attached.
page 29 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 27)
The eggs are drawn in pencil, the nest in crayon, and the tree in felt tip. The background is shaded in crayon. The small frame and words within it are in felt tip.
page 30 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 28)
This page contains imported material: a postcard (from the RSPB), attached with blue tack. The drawing has been outlined using a fairly sharp pencil, and coloured in with crayon; erased pencil lines are visible indicating alteration to the shape of the bird’s body (it appears to have been made slightly slimmer).
page 31 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 29)
The frame and title are in felt tip (notice ‘dots’ indicating points at which the stroke has stopped), the bubble is in pencil, and the drawings are outlined in pencil, with details and colouring in crayon.
page 32 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 30)
The lined paper, on which the work has been done, has been cut down to its present size (approx the top two thirds of an A4 sheet) and positioned within the sleeve, against the plain white surface of the back of the following page. The page contains imported material: a magazine cutting; the surface is a bit wrinkled, and slightly marked (possibly with tippex). Tippex is used to make alterations to the words ‘it’ (previously ‘tit’) and ‘real’ (previously ‘realy’) in the last two lines. The title and frame are in felt tip pens of different thicknesses (it looks as if the bottom section of the frame may have been completed but later cut off).
page 33 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 31)
This page contains imported material: two magazine cuttings; the one at the top has been positioned so that it slightly overlaps the other; a crayon mark up the side of the cutting at the top indicates that they were stuck on before the background was shaded in.
page 34 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 32)
A wider range of substances have been used on this page: felt tip for the title, sky, and outlines of hills, fields and signposts; crayon for colouring in the hills and the signpost (it looks as if the words were written first and the crayon added later, around them); pencil for outlines of egg and section of egg shell; and paint (poster paint?) for everything else. The paint appears to have been kept quite dry and to have been applied thickly, in layers; different brushstrokes are used: long, sweeping strokes for the rolling fields at the top, and shorter strokes (using the end of a 1cm brush) for the grassy area and the eggshell in the lower half of the page; the brushmarks are clearly visible, and the different textures can be felt when the page is handled.
page 35 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 33)
The letters in the title are in alternating materials: these appear to be pink wax crayon(?) and turquoise pencil crayon. Frame and writing down side are in felt tip. Drawings of birds are in pencil.
page 36 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 34)
The drawing is outlined in pencil; parts are also reoutlined in felt tip; crayon and felt tip are used for colouring. Fine pencil lines have been ruled for guidance in writing.
page 37 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 35)
The tree and birds have been outlined in pencil; elsewhere only felt tip is used; title, and colouring are in pastel crayon, with different colours overlayed in some places: grass in two shades of green; sun in yellow and pink.
page 38 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 36)
This page contains imported material: a page from a magazine; it has been cut out down the right side to A4 size; parts of the text have been highlighted using fluorescent highlighter pens in three different colours.
page 39 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 37)
This page contains imported material: three magazine cuttings; they have been framed using a pink fluorescent highlighter pen.
page 40 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 38)
This page contains imported material: three magazine cuttings.
page 41 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 39)
The words and drawing have been outlined in felt tip; in the drawing, the lines of an initial draft in very fine black felt tip is visible beneath the final version; the words have been drafted in pencil, visible beneath the felt tip. Colouring is in felt tip, using a variety of strokes. This page contains imported material: a magazine cutting; there are slight marks where the felt tip outline of the tree hits the paper, indicating that the cutting was stuck down before the drawing was completed.
page 42 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 40)
Lines have been ruled in pencil, right across the page, for guidance in writing. Frame and background are in pastel crayon; the frame appears to have been produced by using the side of a crayon against the edge of a ruler. The blob of blue ink on the left provides evidence of accidental damage.
page 43 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 41)
This page contains imported materials: the photo has been positioned loosely in the sleeve; the colouring is in pastel crayon; it extends completely over the page, beneath the photo. Lines have been ruled in pencil for writing.
page 44 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 42)
Words and drawings are outlined in fine pencil and coloured in using pastel crayons; the words are each written in a mixture of green and yellow. Below and to the right of the title at the top there is an area (a long strip) where the pastel has been applied over tippex and has not taken very well; biro lines are partly visible beneath the tippex and crayon; this indicates some kind of alteration.
page 45 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 43)
This page consists of imported material: a page from a magazine (it appears to come from the same publication as page12); it has been cut to size down the sides and inserted loosely in the sleeve; it sticks out very slightly at the top of the sleeve. The words ‘coal tit’ have been written very lightly in pencil at the bottom of the cutting.
page 46 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 44)
Words and drawings are outlined in pencil; colouring and detail are in felt tip; background shading is in pastel crayon. Space around the words suggests that they were written before the crayon was applied, but there is some overlap of crayon and felt tip in a few places.
page 47 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 45)
This page consists of imported material: a page from a magazine (it appears to come from the same publication as page12); it has been cut to size down the sides and inserted loosely in the sleeve; it sticks out very slightly at the top of the sleeve; there is a brown stain top right (as for p12), indicating where it has come into contact with some kind of liquid.
page 48 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 46)
This page contains imported material: a large magazine cutting, stuck onto a sheet of thick, good quality, watermarked paper (same as p1). The cutting is slightly creased down the centre. The frame, in craayon, around the edge of the page, was completed before the cutting was tuck down.
page 49 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 47)
This page contains imported material: two magazine cuttings (one large and one small, containing just written text on a white background); stuck onto a sheet of thick, good quality, watermarked paper (same as p1).
page 50 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 48)
This page contains imported material: two magazine cuttings; the bottom one has been cut out carefully to include the words around the picture, and is slightly creased.
page 51 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 49)
This page contains imported material: five magazine cuttings. These have been arranged very carefully on the page: the cutting top left overlaps the top left hand corner of the cutting on the lower right, and the ‘How to watch birds’ cutting is overlapped slightly by the picture in the bottom left hand corner; the cutting containing a photo of a pair of boots is the only one which is completely separate from the others. (Note that the ‘ear’ close up is not a separate cutting!)
page 52 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (not numbered by child)
This page consists of imported material: a small leaflet, half opened out, with two holes punched through the first fold, so that it can be inserted into the binder, leaving the rest of the leaflet loose (see pages 59-61 for similar material). It contains drawings and written information printed on what looks like recycled paper. It is not enclosed in a plastic sleeve.
page 53 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 50)
This page contains imported material: two photos attached with blue tack at the corners. The outer frame is in pastel crayon. Lines have been ruled in pencil for guidance in writing; note the slip of the pencil in the last line of the first section of writing.
page 54 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (child’s page 51)
This page contains imported material: a photo and a small membership card, both attached with blue tack. The card has been framed with a ruled line in biro; the outer frame is in pastel crayon. Lines have been ruled in pencil for guidance in writing.
page 55 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (not numbered by child)
This page consists of imported material: a whole 32 page magazine, with holes punched in the side, inserted loosely in the binder, not in a plastic sleeve. Inside, the presentation is varied, lively and colourful.
page 56 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ top ] [ KH53 index ] (not numbered by child)
This page consists of imported material: a 4 sided information sheet containing written information and drawings; it is printed in black, on fairly thin green paper. It is inserted loosely in the binder, through holes punched down the folded side, not enclosed in a plastic sleeve.

This page consists of imported material: a small (A5size) 32 page booklet, containing written information, photos and drawings, printed on thin, slightly glossy paper. The booklet is marked on the back; it seems to have come into contact with some kind of brownish, sticky substance. There is a small hole in page 15, where part of a photo of a bird has been cut out; the cutting does not appear to have been used elsewhere in this project. It is inserted loosely in the binder through holes punched in the side, not in a plastic sleeve.

This page consists of imported material: a small (A5size) 32 page booklet, containing written information, photos and drawings, printed on thin, slightly glossy paper. It has been inserted loosely in the binder through holes punched in the side, not in a plastic sleeve. It is yellowed around the edges and looks quite old; also, the back cover is stained, and the front cover seems to have come into contact with some kind of sticky substance. There is a large hole in page 3, where part of a photo of a bird has been cut out; the cutting does not appear to have been used elsewhere in the project.

The page consists of two pieces of work, cut out and stuck onto a piece of thin, rough quality, mustard coloured paper. The yellow glue is visible; it has worked its way through the white paper, and some of it has also come through onto the back of the page. The writing at the top has been done on lined paper; the graph has been drawn on graph paper, using pencil and felt tip (two slightly different shades of orange felt tip have been used); the word ‘key’ is in pencil. An erased line to the left of number 3 indicates an alteration. There are a few spots of purple felt tip, which appear to be accidental marks.

The page consists of two pieces of work, cut out and stuck onto a piece of thin, rough quality, mustard coloured paper. The yellow glue is visible; it has worked its way through the white paper, and appears to have run across the surface slightly, top left, but it has not gone through onto the back of the page. The writing at the top has been done on lined paper; the graph has been drawn on graph paper, using pencil and felt tip.

The work has been done on a piece of thin, rough quality, mustard coloured paper; writing and outlines are in purple felt tip; shading is in turquoise pastel crayon, except for the box in the centre which is in pink felt tip. Notice the dots, in the lines of the maze, indicating where each stroke has ended.

The work has been done in purple felt tip, on a piece of thin, rough quality, mustard coloured paper. There are some stains (they look like grease marks) with a dry, powdery, whitish material stuck to the surface in the same place; this suggests contact with some kind of thickish, slightly greasy substance (possibly food).

This page consists of imported material: an A4 photocopy, inserted loosely in a plastic sleeve. The sleeve contains just this one sheet. There is a strong crease across the centre of the photocopy, indicating where it was previously folded down the middle, forming an A5 leaflet. There are holes punched in the side, indicating that it has been inserted directly in a binder, at some time. One of the ‘words’, bottom left, has been crossed out using blue-grey felt tip.

This is the reverse of page 73. Pencil has been used to draw a line across the page (free hand, following the line of the fold) and to shade part of the tree trunk in the ‘Spot the Wrens’ picture.

This page contains imported material: two magazine cuttings, in fairly thick, good quality paper (perhaps the cover of the magazine?); they are stuck to a sheet of thin, rough quality, mustard coloured paper. The sleeve contains only this one sheet (this page forms the reverse side of page 76, and the felt tip lines from this page are visible through the paper, around the edge). The sleeve is creased down the centre.

This page contains imported material: two magazine cuttings, stuck to a sheet of thin, rough quality, mustard coloured paper. The cutting at the top is made of thinner quality paper than the one below, which may come from the same publication as those on the previous page. A tiny strip of off white paper is sticking out between the lower cutting and the main surface, probably a left-over from the cutting out process. (This page forms the reverse of page 75.) The sleeve is creased and scuffed on this side.

The drawing is outlined in pencil and crayon, and coloured in with crayon. The outlines in crayon only vaguely follow the pencil lines; they appear to have been drawn speedily, using a very loose, continuous stroke. The gaps around the words indicate that the writing was completed before the background shading. There are indented words along the top of the page, in the child’s handwriting, formed by the pressure of a pen, when the sheet lay beneath another writing surface (possibly while still in the pad); the indentation is not completely legible, but the word at the top appears to be ‘bibliograthy’(sic), pointing to an earlier spelling of the word, either in an earlier draft of this page, which has since been discarded, or in another piece of work. There are a few white marks (looks like tippex) on the outer surface of the plastic sleeve. The sleeve contains only this one sheet.
