This week in Ladywell nursery school the boys and girls have enjoyed learning about why bees need nectar from flowers.  We set up a pollination station with toy bees, flowers, powder for the nectar, pictures of flowers with their different named parts, information books and magnifying glasses.  We looked at videos on You Tube of the bee’s collecting nectar, why they need nectar and what they do with it. They then enjoyed the experience of role-playing with the bees and flowers and some could tell me why the bees need nectar.  The children have also shown interest in bees through constructing their own bee designs using blocks and the small tap a shape resources.
