  • Happy Easter!

  • Welcome to the Springtime! Our Kindergarten students at the Modern American School experienced the unforgettable: the chance to observe over 12 days the metamorphosis of butterflies in their cocoons, and witness them being set free.

The students visited an apiary and listened to informative talks from bee experts. They then spread the word of the great importance of this pollinating insect to their companions in primary school, in a fun and original context. We can help care for bees by putting plants on our balconies and roofs. We ought to avoid using pesticides in our gardens and buy original apicultural products.
