School of Education

In many countries schools remain closed and the dinner table now serves as the school desk. This crisis has given us all new respect for the work that teachers do, but it has also given us an extraordinary moment to break the strictures of classroom learning.

If you are a parent or an educator, these days have gravitated around the same questions: how can we keep our children engaged in creative activities and encourage them to learn new things from home? Teaching or learning new language skills can be challenging, as we may not have the mobility to experience new languages through social interactions. Yet, with creativity, we can find new solutions!

We are happy to launch the Spot-a-Bee App & Activity Pack. You are invited to submit photos of plants that bees buzz around in gardens or local spaces via the Spot-a-Bee App, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
