Activity 2 – Bees are pollinators! Pollination is important to allow plants to make more flowers. Here is a fun experiment you can try at home to help your child understand this process. See Below for details:

Use Wotsits/Cheesy Puff crisps to help your child understand the pollination process! Have your child draw a 3-5 flowers on separate pieces of blank paper and lay them around the room (they don’t need to be big so feel free to cut one piece of paper into smaller pieces). Next, have them eat the Wotsits without licking their fingers! They want to collect as many crumbs (pretend pollen) on their fingers as possible! Tell them that this represents collecting pollen from their flowers. Next, have them “fly” to another flower in the room and rub their fingers on the flower. Do this until all the flowers have been visited. Then, have them fly back to their seats. Look at all the flowers. did all of the flowers get pollinated?

French

Hope you had fun practising colours in French last week! Please have a look at the following video to practice simple greetings in French. If you like you can send us a video of you having a simple conversation in French!
