Great for students to create something related to their learning. Abbie was full of energy and clearly passionate about bees and educating students of their importance.

This program has broad reaching benefits including real world application of syllabus outcomes and deeper long term influence on sustainable approaches to living and conserving the living world.

The students were engaged throughout the entire session. They learnt useful information to transfer into their learning.

Great information that is going to stimulate some great literacy tasks.

From the moment Abbie arrived at our school we knew this was going to be a great incursion. She came very prepared with outstanding resources. Her Powerpoint presentation and supplementary information were perfectly pitched at our year 1 students. They loved building the bee hotels and viewing her amazing display.

An engaging, stimulating, hands-on activity full of amazing information. Very well prepared and presented.

Today’s workshop was amazing- an exciting, hands on learning experience that linked well with Stage 2 Living World outcomes. The students were engrossed in the construction of their bee hotels and will be talking about it for years to come! Abbie was an engaging presenter, full of enthusiasm and knowledge on the topic. Her invertebrate displays, construction materials and overall presentation were of a very high quality. A highly recommended activity for primary school students.

100% satisfaction: Learning through a variety of ways. Informative presentations with interaction with students followed up by an outstanding set of resources and info boards to deepen understanding and aid interests – not to mention the hands-on making. So very well structured and organised.

I would highly recommend this incursion to link science and geography units

Great incursion – one of the best – an excellent intro to our science unit, stimulating kids cursiosity

Extremely relevant, well prepared and knowledgeable. Really well structured and accessible for students. A great way to consolidate learning.

Very clear content. Linked well with what we have been learning in class. Great presentation and props.

Abbie is a very entertaining, engaging presenter – the slides were informative and paired with her humour made for a wonderful show. I was hanging off every word. I was worried about the hammering but the students proved to be very capable – surprising and impressing me! The teaching resources were of really high quality and the students loved the real life artifacts. Extremely engaging, informative and worthwhile.

Great links to syllabus. Well planned and very manageable. A fantastic incursion that incorporated education and hands-on experience.

Workshop was incredibly engaging and achievable for all students. Small groups mean all students had equal opportunity to participate and all kids learnt something new.

Kids (and teachers!) were highly engaged. Abbie was an excellent presenter who was obviously very knowledgeable and passionate. The perfect way to end our “Living Things’ program on bees!

This incursion was probably the best incursion we have ever had in the school. The content fit in perfectly with what we are teaching the students about bees and the skills we are looking at in Geography. I would highly recommend it!

The bee incursion was amazing. I would recommend it to every school in Australia.

Our year 3’s were captivated by Abbie’s fascinating facts about bees. They loved checking out all of the different specimens Abbie brought in too. The highlight of the day by far was definitely the hands-on opportunity for the students to build their very own bee hotels. It allowed for the important skill of team work to flourish and the results were amazing. Overall it was a fun filled day with lots of learning opportunities. Abbie was so knowledgeable and her enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you for a wonderful day Abbie!

Fabulous! Expressive, dramatic, super clear info. So professional! Fantastic resources!

A stimulating and informative workshop using all the elements of STEM lessons.

The Super Pollinators Incursion was interesting and well presented. Students were engaged and asked interesting questions which arose from the presentation.

The kids loved the bee hotel lesson. It was very hands-on, super engaging yet challenging.

I liked it because it was very interactive and taught me a lot about the different types of bees.

A fantastic and engaging workshop!

The students and teachers all gained some important and useful information on bees!

Fits in perfectly with unit (of study for year 1).

Abbie and her fun presentation on native bees inspired our children and added so much to their knowledge of pollination. We have a large vegetable garden and orchard here in which the children spend allocated lesson time each week. We have spent the winter looking at pollination, seeds and flower parts whilst doing the Primary Connections unit Plants in Action. This workshop ties in nicely with the unit. Thank you Abbie!

Thank you to you and your team at Kids Connecting Nature for running a fantastic and informative workshop for our primary students! It was amazing to discover so many wonderful facts about bees, especially Australian bees. The students thoroughly enjoyed all the activities, especially creating and painting their bee hotels…and some have already been put to good use! We will treasure this enriching experience for a long time.

You should have a bee incursion in the classroom, because you can learn a truckload of things: like how to make a fantastic bee house. The bee house will let bees have somewhere to rest and lay their eggs, especially bees who cannot fly long distances. I like how the bee house looked after we painted it. We learned a lot and so did our teachers. The day was awesome.

Abbie the bee lady came to our school she taught us how to use a hammer and nails to build a bee house. We all cooperated together as a team to make a bee house.

An interesting and informative presentation that stimulated the children’s curiosity. The construction aspect was a great move from information to real action.

Abbie was great with the kids, engaging and knowledgeable.

Abbie was a dynamic presenter and great to deal with prior to our incursion. I highly recommend the Super Pollinators for connecting kids with the local fauna.

The Super Pollinators Incursion was the perfect learning experience for years 3 and 4. The content was informative and the hand-on activity was very engaging and fun

The activity was a very different experience for our kids – very engaging

Thank you Abbie for your presentation at St Canice’s today. Our students really enjoyed your presentation and the learning from it. The bee hotel making was a hit! Very engaging, hands-on and purposeful

Clear and easy to understand – pitched it perfectly for our students

Very well linked to science and geography outcomes. Very interactive and informative.

Excellent resources, all set out, easy to use, SUPER!

Our students were engaged and motivated by the build. Complimented our teaching very well.

Fantastic for our minibeast habitat theme and a new hands-on experience

Very enjoyable! The cute hats were a great way to illustrate how pollination occurs

Presenter was very knowledgeable and engaging with students

An informative, educational, hands-on workshop. The presenter was approachable, informative and warm.

A stimulating presentation on bees. The students were highly engaged during the presentation – especially the role play – and workshop activity. Friendly, caring and informative presenter who answered all questions at the child’s level. A wonderful incursion for stage 1 students.

Excellent workshop developing students understanding about bees and the importance of bees in our environment. Hands-on activities provided many students with opportunities to use a hammer and nails while making a bee hotel.

Children learnt and consolidated a lot of knowledge. A great capstone experience for our unit on bees and sustainability

Abbie was calm, professional and her enthusiasm was contagious!

It was right at the students level. Very entertaining. Highly recommend.

Worked well over zoom. Kids really engaged. Thank you so much for being so accommodating and for working with us through COVID and technology. The kids loved it and learned heaps!
