Team Bees

Students detected insects in their area. Then, each team decided to collect information about two of them and present them in a common canva. As a result, they created a poster including details such as insect name, size, color, place, food, body parts, reproduction process, dangers, and possible date of celebration. The outcomes became QR codes. Additionally, an online game assessed their new knowledge. 

The teams had the opportunity to present the results of the previous activity and focus on bees, as an insect that connects the partner countries and for its importance for the planet. On 11/04/2024 the schools met online at 11:15 CET and drew together the parts of the bee. 

Each team read a story outside about bees. For example in the playground, on the grass etc. 

The schools designed a common map and in specific spots of the route they inserted regional flowers that favor the pollination. Then, they dressed up as bees and performed the route outdoors reaching the beehive at the end. When students found a flower they danced. 

Students found beehives and took a picture. They learned how bees build their nests and invited a specialist to school.  

Each school found a different way to help the bees and presented it. The final result became a magazine with the proposals to protect the bees.
