'Lockdown Discoveries', by Dotty, aged 12 (Wildverse 2020, 8-12 winner)

Am I Too Small? by Elliott, aged 6 (Wildverse 2020, under 8's winner)
02/12/2020 Duration: 01minAm I too small to save the bees? It’s a shame to lose them, can I help them please? We planted some trees my mummy and me, The nectar they love and their home is the tree. Am I too small to help I ask? My grandad said no and we set off on a task, We built a hotel for the bees to stay It has wooden tubes for them to play Am I too small to really help out? My daddy said I can help without a doubt Using less water in the garden is a good start We have two water butts now, how smart! Am I too small to save a bee? I look in the garden at all I can see I’m not too small to help at all Can’t wait to make a difference even when I’m tall.Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
