Today at school we raised awareness among the students about the importance of bees. Several activities took place, so the students remember what they learned, since learning by doing is probably the best practice!

First of all, the students were divided into groups and each group represented a type of pollinator: a bee, a humming bird, a bat. Then the groups had to actually go around the school and look for flowers (which their teachers have left around) and then pollinate them. The pollen itself was glitter, so so allergies were triggered. 

Secondly, the students were divided into teams again, and each team represented a stage in the bees' life cycle. Then every team had to make cutouts which represented the team's lyfe cycle stage. Afterwards, the cutouts were made into garlands, which were hanged around the school, so they keep reminding everyone about the importance of bees.
