Shaun the Sheep and his flock have noticed that the number of insects buzzing around their brownfield site are looking increasingly unhealthy and are declining in number. The farmer in a neighbouring farm has sprayed his crops with pesticide and it’s having a catastrophic impact on insect life.

Use the short Pesticide Panic mission on our online game Sustainable Shaun as a starter with your class to introduce the value of minibeasts and insects to our world, including their role in agriculture. Pupils will help Shaun provide a healthier environment for the insect population, enabling them to thrive once more.

Why not extend this discussion with our science and maths lessons in the download pack.
