'A day in the life of working honey bee'.
After learning lots about what bees do my Year ones and pp's write about all they things they had learned.
To go with the writing we made a hand print bee, added wax paper wings, pipecleaner antenna and googly eyes. We used bubble wrap to print onto a hive template printed onto yellow card. They look super cute.
The hive template will be up tomorrow and the label is available here
