Ladywell 27.5.19

There has been great interest in bees since finding some had made the tree trunk in our garden into their home!

Thoughts and ideas from the children have been put in the floor book and we have set up a small display of photos, books and objects about bees to provoke further discussion.

We decided to develop the interest further by using it as our focus for exposing children to new vocabulary through our Box Clever approach.

Our naming words for this week are:

bee  wings  abdomen  thorax  eye  insect   legs   antenna  stinger

swarm  hive  honeycomb  wax  hexagon  honey

flower  petal  nectar  pollen stamen

 

We are also learning a couple of bee rhymes!

5 Little Bees

1 little bee, flew and flew,

The bee met a friend and that made 2.

2 little bees, as busy as can be,

Along came another one and that made 3.

3 little bees looked for one more,

Found one soon and that made 4

4 little bees, going to the hive,

Saw a buzzy friend and that made 5.

5 little bees, working every hour,

Fly away bees and find another flower

 

Here is The Beehive 

Here is the beehive,
Where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Watch and you’ll see them come out of the hive. One…two…three…four…five!
Buzz…buzz…buzz…buzz…buzz.
