On Monday the 30th of October Mrs M took Millie, Hunter, Lily and Anouk to visit Limehills School to have a look around their
Green/Gold Enviro-School. This was an
exciting opportunity as it was also Limehill School’s pet/creation day so they had animals, stalls, and art to look at, as well. There was even Mr Whippy and a yummy BBQ going!
While we were there we attended a
workshop (run by the Limehills’ students) about Leafcutter bees and gained some knowledge that was beneficial to our school, as we have our own Leafcutter bee
hive. We learnt that Leafcutter bees and Honey-bees can live side by side and will not attack each other, but the key is to have lots of food for them. We also learnt that we must have food right through the year for our Leafcutter bees and that we need to consider this and plant accordingly.
There were many great things to look at at Limehills School. They had magnificent art displays all around the school and areas for the children to play in. They had a mini bushwalk, mud kitchen, eco-huts and a virtual bee-hive. A highlight was watching the Limehills children suit up into their bee suits and go and look at their Honey-bee hive!
