Thank you to Parkes East Public School for welcoming us yesterday. There will be some very happy bugs around Parkes this week! 🐛🐞
We had the pleasure of exploring the fascinating world of insects with Parkes East’s two Kindergarten classes, helping to create a new generation of young entomologists.
Together, we learned about local insect habitats, food sources and shelter needs before putting that knowledge into practice by building bug hotels to encourage insects to visit and thrive in our gardens.
Programs like this give young people the opportunity to discover careers, ideas and areas of learning they may not encounter in their everyday lives. By making science practical, creative and fun, we can build curiosity, widen participation in education and encourage a lifelong love of learning.
Thank you again to the students and staff at Parkes East Public School for having us. We cannot wait to deliver more programs like this and continue inspiring young minds across our community. 🔬🌱
