Insects play an incredibly important role in our natural world and it is important that we teach our children about them.
So, we invited Bugfest (and a selection of mini-beasts) to school to explain how insects support the wider environment. They play a key role in our ecosystem as they pollinate plants and crops; break down waste into fertilised soil and provide a source of food for animals and humans.
The children of course, found the insects fascinating and loved seeing them up close and personal.
“We want the children to build a connection with and respect for the natural world”, said Reception Teacher Mrs McCullough.
“This starts at an early age, by helping them to understand the role every creature plays in the world around us.”
