We have been learning about the parts of the bee by listening to the Campbell Family, reading for information about bees and to label diagrams with Mr Mutch. By doing this you have been learning to sound out and read and write these words. This level will ask you to spell some of the bee’s body parts.
Queen Bee Gold Level
The parts of any living thing can be called it’s anatomy. Find out more information about the anatomy of a bee on this site. This level will ask you to spell some of these specialist words. Remember your spelling strategies.
- Break the words into syllables.

Meat Free Meal
Following on from Mrs Taylor’s lovely recipe I hope some of you have managed to think about the idea of a meat free meal.
I’m sure many families have meat free meals at various points without realising it – for example Macaroni Cheese or even a salad. Those of you that are vegetarian or vegan will be doing this daily.
The idea of ‘Meat free Monday’ is a interesting debate as it opens up some good questions about whether or not it is good for the environment. (It doesn’t have to be on a Monday you do this)
Have a look at the website and read some of the ideas, some of you might need some adult support –

Task 1 – Write a short report sharing your view on Meat Free Monday. You may have to research the website and note down some ideas before you start a report.
Remember to include your feelings and thoughts. Is your report for or against Meat Free Monday?
These questions may help –
- Do you think Meat Free Monday will make a difference to climate change?
- Do you think it will affect farming? Would this affect farming in our area?
- Do you think it will improve health?
- Do you agree with the information on the website?
Task 2 – Design a menu or recipe sharing your Meat Free meal. Did you make it?
Feel free to try one task or maybe some of you will manage both.
Remember to comment on here or share with your teacher we would love to see your ideas.
