Things are not going well for the wild bee. What a shame, because bees are very important for our fruit and vegetables. Your school can help the wild bee. How? Request a free flower bulb package from Nederland Zoemt! Nederland Zoemt is a project in which IVN Nature Education and Nature & Environment work together.
The package contains organic flower bulbs that can be planted in the schoolyard, a lesson package with four lesson plans, an identification chart, a colouring page and a bee poster. The lesson package has been put together in such a way that the lessons are suitable for younger and older students. This makes the package fun and educational for all students. In addition, the package helps transform schoolyards into blooming, buzzing places.
Nederland Zoemt has three educational programmes:
After every holiday, a group goes through certain phases in the process of group formation. The first weeks at the beginning of the school year are called the Golden Weeks. These weeks are particularly suitable for laying a foundation for good group formation and a pleasant atmosphere. Stichting School & Veiligheid offers ten tips.
From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
Would you like more water to be drunk in the new school year? Then put tap water in the spotlight with your class as a healthy and sustainable thirst quencher during National Tap Water Day on Wednesday 30 September. This way, your pupils will discover why tap water is healthy and how to turn it into a festive drink!
