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. Here, Loretta Higgins, left, and Maisy
Jefferson, right, squeeze in some physical activity in the
form of the Bee Waggle Dance – a collaborative effort.(Photo
