Our Year 2 pupils have been buzzing with excitement during their Courageous Advocacy Afternoon! As part of their mission to help protect our planet’s precious pollinators, the children explored the school grounds to survey which areas are safe and welcoming for bees. Armed with clipboards and curiosity, they completed another fascinating bug count – discovering just how many tiny creatures share our outdoor spaces!
They also learnt all about “bee bus stops” – special places filled with flowers that give bees a chance to rest and refuel. By the end of the afternoon, everyone was full of ideas for how we can make our school even more bee-friendly!
Term 1
During our Courageous Advocacy afternoon, we spent time exploring the school’s nature areas and carried out a bug count to see how many insects could be observed within a set period of time. This activity not only encouraged us to engage with our environment but also provided us with valuable baseline data. By repeating this process later in the term, we will be able to measure any changes and better understand the impact of our actions on supporting and protecting local biodiversity.
