During a STEAM event dedicated to bees and the environment, St Peter’s learnt how some bees are solitary bees but that honey bees, in particular, work together to create a self-sustaining hive which in turn helps them to nurture their young and make one of life’s greatest treasures – Honey!

They learnt how the bees work together in colonies to maximum effect. This led on to a thought… Kate Woods a Teaching Assistant at St Peter’s Academy decided to create a ‘Prayer Hive’. The children then set to writing their own prayer, about anything they felt was important to them, each prayer was then rolled into a hexagon prism and placed into the hive. Each day a prayer is chosen at random from the hive to be shared in St Peter’s daily act of worship.
