This term we have started the theme 'mini beasts'. Our first mini beast we! looked at was the bee. We completed lots of bee activities. Some are available now and the others will be added tomorrow xx
'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
