Today Year 3 were lucky enough to be involved with the Dorset Wildlife Trusts 'Get Dorset Buzzing' event. We all went to the garden and planted our own sunflower seeds (courtesy of Poundbury Gardens). The children should have bought these home with them today. These can be planted in your gardens. In time these beautiful flowers will attract bees and other pollinators to your garden.
All of the children got to meet Dr George McGavin who then lead the assembly on the importance of hedgerows and wildflower gardens. He even said that 1/4 of your garden should be left to help wildlife. We have over 200 species of bees in this country but some are becoming extinct due to pesticides and over building. I showed Dr McGavin around our Forest school area. He has made some suggestions on how to improve the wildlife in this area. This will be something we will focus on in Forest School.
