We have some beautiful blossom trees in our outdoor area in EYFS and we have noticed that some of the flowers had started to fall off and onto the playground. During our last expedition, we used small wooden hammers to create flower art so we decided to get them out and use the blossom to make beautiful pictures.
We added glue to our paper before choosing our flowers and using the hammers to flatten them onto our paper, making sure they were well stuck down. The final pieces looked really pretty!
Whilst we were doing this activity, we spotted a huge bee taking a break on the flowers we planted last half term. We looked carefully at how it was moving, making sure that we didn’t get too close and frighten him. We noticed that it was wiggling it’s body, trying to get lots of pollen stuck to it. We left some sugary water nearby in case it needed more energy to continue finding pollen. 🐝
