Throughout this year, Early Learning Brown children have been fascinated with bugs, bees and other insects.  This evolved into wondering where bees and insects make their homes.

Everyone has been busy planting seeds and creating a garden to attract these insects so that we can observe them in their natural environment. This has sparked discussions about what happens beneath the ground, how we can care for our plants, and the important role bees play in our ecosystem.

On Monday 10 November the class visited Tasmanian Berries where our understanding of the importance of bees was consolidated.  We were able to ‘taste test’ different varieties of strawberries, we learnt about which strawberries to pick, and where they are stored before they are transported to the supermarket.  What an amazing learning experience!
