Our pollinator garden has been planted by each of the children in our school and some additional parents who could help. The school community has also delegated the upkeep and maintenance of this area. The senior room has been on watering and weeding duty for the last month.
We have been very busy completing our pollinator survey. The most suitable areas for planting have been identified and the whole school has been involved in choosing the most suitable flowers. During the months of May and June these areas have been planted by all classes.
We hope to add some extensive wildflower areas to our school and to increase an awareness among the children of the importance of pollinators on a global scale.
In relation to Covid-19, our committee will be made up of students from 2nd and 3rd class who share a classroom. We will report to other classes remotely.
We hope that by raising awareness of the environment and the importance of pollination, children will be encouraged to become environmentally conscious students.
