Bee Aware speaker
As part of Eco Week 2019 some children from 2nd classes took part in a “Bee Aware” workshop and planting/Scavenger hunt. The workshop helped the children to understand the importance of Bees –pollinators and how we all must take steps to increase our bee populations. We need bees in order to grow our fruit and vegetables, and to make sure that our countryside has lots of beautiful wild flowers.
Scoil Aonghusa Junior is going to try and make Tallaght a better place for bees and other pollinators. As part of the Bee Aware workshop the children planted plants that bees love and we made our school garden a safe place for pollinating insects to live.
The 2nd classes loved learning about bees and they are going to Keep spreading the buzz about the bees!
