Meeting three of the Wawanosh Pollinator Project was held at 7 p.m. on Aug. 4 at the Wingham Community Garden. The meeting started off with the club harvesting various vegetables for the Wingham Food Share. Gayle then opened the meeting with the pledge and led roll call which asked members if they have ever looked at an insect or bird closely, and if so what they noticed. Next, Justin read the minutes of the second meeting. The last piece of business was to decide on the club name, which will be the “Proud Pollinators” with Amanda designing the cover. Members gave an update about the pots they made last meeting before talking about flower anatomy. After learning the parts of the flowers, members tested their knowledge by looking at flowers Mary Ellen had brought. The bee waggle dance was then played to represent what bees do to communicate. The next piece of reading was about the pollination process that was followed by the “No you can’t take me game”. It challenged members to know why different things were important for pollination. Another activity played was the hummingbird hibernation game. It was similar to tag with the people “it” either making the running hummingbirds too cold or hungry that they had to stop moving until rescued. Members were then told to complete the fourth meeting home activity, rather than that of meeting three. A volunteer opportunity at a Dungannon supper on Nov. 27 for the club was mentioned and most members agreed to help. Achievement options discussed were the judging competition or going to the Butterfly Conservatory. Gayle closed the meeting with the 4- H Motto. The second meeting of the Wawanosh Pollinator 4-H club was held on July 30 at 7 p.m. at the Jeffersons’ home. As members were arriving they were asked to think of a club name. Once all members had arrived Vice-President Jaxson led the club in the 4-H pledge and then in roll call, which was “Name something you could do to help a pollinator survive in the environment they live in.” Members gave a variety of answers like plant a pollinator garden and simply to not use pesticides to kill them. Maisy then read the minutes from the first meeting of the new club. Afterwards, leader Mary Ellen had the club think of some different animals around the house that pollinate. The club completed a list and then went outside to find those pollinators. The club returned inside and read about the habitat of bees. Leader Eileen split members into pairs and had them do a radio newscast about different pollinators like moths, flies, beetles and more. Once everyone did their radio newscast, the club stepped outside to plant different plants in pots to attract a variety of pollinators. Members finished planting their pots and returned inside where Jaxson reminded the members of the home activity to go for a walk and take pictures of pollinators. Waggling The Wawanosh 4-H Club likes to mix in plenty of fun with its learning activities.
