The children have become interested in diversity and have been able to use the school grounds to explore and discover. P1 became Pollinator Hunters and P6\/5 undertook the John Muir Award.<\/p>\n

P1 became Pollinator Hunters with the support of older children. They were hunting for pollinating insects which provide us with a valuable free service that is under threat!<\/p>\n

There are over 4,000 species of pollinating insect in the UK that provide us with a valuable free service that is often taken for granted. With the loss of over 97% of our wildflower meadows since World War Two, many of our pollinators have experienced significant population declines.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 250 pollinators are threatened with extinction<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6 of our 25 bumblebee species have declined massively<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3 bumblebees have been declared extinct in the last 100 years<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4 butterflies and over 60 moths have become extinct during the last century<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Three-quarters of British butterflies are in decline<\/p>\n

The children used our wild garden to see\u00a0if they could discover bees, butterflies, spiders, beetles, hoverflies, wasps or ladybirds.<\/p>\n

Here are some of photographs of their exploration.<\/p>\n
