'Omar, The Bees and Me' by Helen Mortimer
This week we have been learning about how we can look after nature in our local community. We have been making honey cake, just like in the story. We have also been designing and making packets of wildflower seeds to deliver to houses within the local area. We are hoping that they plant their seeds in their back garden to encourage bees to visit the area.

Our Community
We invited members of a local group to our school. We made decorations, Christmas crafts and sang them some of the songs we had been learning. We organised afternoon tea for them. We made a list of what we needed and walk to the local shop to buy all the things on our list. Here we are in our local shop deciding what we needed and checking we had enough money.
