This was the latest session Blyth Woods ran at Wenhaston Primary with the Seedlings class. On the way to Vicarage Grove pupils spotted, bumble bees, ladybirds, wild flowers, buds on trees and the beginnings of nests. Pupils enjoyed pond dipping, catching water boatmen and caddis fly Larvae and also learnt about migrating swallows (who usually return from South Africa in April) with a fun game.
The same week Saplings Class were encouraged to ‘love’ bugs and insects and learnt the importance they have on our eco system………spreading pollen, feeding birds and giving the soil much needed nutrients. Pupils helped to replenish the two large Bug Hotels built in 2016 and 2020 by former pupils at Vicarage Grove and everyone made their own bug hotel to encourage these small but important creatures into their gardens.
