P2 had a very exciting start to the week when a box arrived in our classroom from Buzzy Bee. It had lots of objects inside like tomato sauce, beans, flowers and honey. Buzzy taught us about how these objects linked to bees through pollination.

Olivia: ‘pollination is when bees collect nectar from the flowers and the pollen sticks to their fur. Then they go on to another flower and the pollen drops on to the flower and it makes new seeds’.

Here is a picture of us drinking our ‘nectar’ and collecting ‘pollen’ when we landed on our flowers.

We learnt that because there aren’t as many wild flowers as there used to be, bees can’t pollinate as they used to and are becoming endangered.

Ben: ‘Bees are becoming endangered because of habitat destruction’.

P2 decided that we would help bees by planting some new seeds to grow into flowers for the bees to pollinate.

We enjoyed spending time outside with P1, P1/2 and P2/3 this week learning lots of new skills and showed excellent team work on the tyres and trim trail!
