Junior Infants had a brilliant time celebrating World Bee Day and learning all about our amazing bee friends. We discovered why bees are so important for nature – especially how they help flowers grow and fruit to form through pollination.
As part of our celebrations, we worked together to create a large, colourful collaborative art piece of a bee that now proudly hangs in our classroom. Everyone had a turn adding their own special touch!
We also went on an exciting bee hunt around the school grounds. The children looked carefully to see if they could spot any real bees in action.
Back in the classroom, we had lots of great discussions about bees, how they live, and how they help the environment. The children shared brilliant ideas and questions!
To finish the day, we created beautiful pointillism-style fruit art using cotton buds and paint, linking our learning to how bees help pollinate fruit plants. The results were bright, colourful, and full of creativity!
It was a joyful day full of learning, laughter, and buzzing excitement!
