World Bee Day 2025

Happy World Bee Day!

🐝

Bees 🐝 and other pollinators are so important to our ecosystems and vital in the production of nutritious food.

The children have been helping to save and protect the bees by planting wild flowers in the garden, rewilding an area to ensure a wide range of biodiversity, making a bee water station, watering the strawberry plants and thanking the bees for landing on the flowers to pollinate them.

We have been making fabulous displays using cardboard hexagon shapes dipped in paint. We have also met our friendly cuddly bee and enjoyed the story 'Betty the Bee' by Emily Hobson-Martin https://www.hildasplanet.co.uk/

We saw how Betty likes to drink sweet nectar from her proboscis and so we used pipettes dipped in yellow paint to learn how bees drink nectar from a flower. It turned into a race who could fill their hive the fastest!

Our youngest children explored the sensory tray. Buzz, Buzz, Buzz!
