The Junior Team has been learning about bees.  We have been learning about how we as humans can help save bees and how bees can help us in many ways.

As part of our inquiry the Junior Team discovered a problem – we found lots of food rubbish in the playground.  There was plastic wrap, oreo wrappers, chip packets and more.

To solve this problem we had Richard from Enviroschools come and teach us how to make beeswax wraps.  These are reusable and when the time comes to dispose of them they are biodegradable.  They are made out of cotton fabric dipped in beeswax.

It has been great seeing so many students using them in their lunchboxes.

Thanks Richard, for all your help!
