A huge well done to our YPO colleagues who completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge in support of the NSPCC 💚

On Saturday 9 May, three teams took on the 24-mile route across the Yorkshire Dales, summiting Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough to help raise £19,000 for YPO’s corporate charity partner.

The NSPCC is a charity close to our hearts, working to prevent child abuse and neglect, and supporting young people as they rebuild their lives.

Since our partnership began, YPO has raised £114,000 for the NSPCC, and this latest challenge is another brilliant example of colleagues giving their time, energy and aching legs to support an important cause.

A massive thank you to everyone who took part, donated and supported the teams along the way.

Dande-bee boards for Little Learners 🐝

A simple spring and summer craft that’s perfect for World Bee Day, outdoor learning or a sunny afternoon in your setting 🌼

Use a piece of old cardboard, draw your bee, then add yellow stripes and white wings using paint or colouring pens. Make small holes where the yellow stripes are, then head outside with your little learners to collect a few dandelions.

Children can thread the dandelions through the holes to create the bee’s fuzzy yellow stripes.

This activity is a lovely way to support:
🌼 Fine motor skills
🐝 Mark making
🎨 Creative confidence
🌿 Outdoor learning
💬 Conversations about bees, flowers and the world around us

You’ll need:
🌼 Dandelions
📦 Cardboard
🎨 YPO Ready Mixed Paint in white and yellow
🖊️ YPO Broad Tip Colouring Pens

This activity is taken from Little Learners, our free early years magazine packed with low cost activity ideas, classroom inspiration and simple ways to support learning through movement, play and creativity.
