🐝 This Week for Children 🐝

We're buzzing with excitement for our bee-themed sessions this week!

✨ Tuesday at the Hub & Thursday at the Farm– Explorer Tots
We'll be learning through play as we explore the wonderful world of bees. Children will investigate hexagon shapes through honeycomb-inspired activities and practise their pincer grip skills by transferring the "nectar" water play. Expect plenty of sensory, imaginative, and hands-on play both indoors and outdoors.

🌼 Wednesday – Home Ed Session
We'll be taking a closer look at bees and their importance in nature. Older children will have the opportunity to create a lovely shell bee feeder station to take home to help support local pollinators. We can also see plenty of them in action helping to pollinate our veg down at the farm!

A relaxed and friendly environment with plenty of opportunities to explore, create, and connect with others.

The Listening project is a fantastic way for us to voice our positive opinions or concerns about Kirkstall. Taking into consideration the answers given last year, we can come together as a community and review if things have improved or need to still improve in order to make Kirkstall somewhere we can be proud of. Join us on Monday 1st June for a drop in session to discuss our lives in Kirkstall, AND get a free butty whilst you’re at it!

We've an ambition to create a little play street at the farm and wondered if anyone could gift us a preloved wendy house or play house?

We'd be very grateful.
