Year 2 had a fantastic trip to Springfield Park where they learnt all about bees and nature. We began our day with an interactive plant session with the resident nature expert. We learnt about how different plants have different jobs in nature with some of our amazing flower borders created by the parks volunteers. After that, we had a short orienteering lesson to get our minds thinking about bees. In the afternoon, we explored the hedgehog houses, pond, bug hotels and even planted our own plants. To finish our day, we all became bee keepers. We were shown how to put on the bee keeping suit and how to stay safe around bees. We then had a look into their hives and found the queen bee! Can you remember what she looked like?
