Guest Really Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 We are having an science/art week this week and I am looking at bees! Any ideas on activities - anything at all? I am going to get the children to make what a bee sees through its compound eye by using straws, they are then going to draw what they see. I am going to link my maths in by doing repeating patterns and in Literacy we are doing a big book all about the honeybee. I am in need of inspiration! Thanks.

Guest Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 How about making a bee book? The children could do yellow finger prints and later add legs with a black felt pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posy Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hi Really when I was looking at your post I saw you were to and that shamed me into a reply!! What about bees and zzzzz music/sound patterns? Silly slogans -bees knees please There's a rhme about a bee on your nose -someone will know it! Honey biscuits/sandwiches Bees in the hive, interactive display-how many in the hive/altogether Sorry, these are probably not what you are looking for B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 How about making bees in creative area and hanging on string around classroom. Is there some sort of bee dance (bees waking, coing out of hive, looking for pollen, back to hive to deposit, maybe a sting on the way?) you can do to some 'buzzy'music? My brain is a bit out of action - to much report writing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 What do you suppose? rhyme: What do you suppose? A bee sat on my nose, And then what do you think? It gave me a wink. And said 'I beg your pardon, I thought you were a garden!' What about number rhymes e.g. Here is the bee hive or 12345 Honey Bees are in the hive?

Marion Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Here is a Beehive A fingerplay Here is the beehive, where are the bees? clench fist and bring out fingers quickly one by one Hidden away were nobody sees Watch and you will see them come out of their hives, One, two, three, four, five, Buzz, buzz, buzz. Five Little Bees One little bee blew and flew. He met a friend, and that made two. Two little bees, busy as could be-- Along came another and that made three. Three little bees, wanted one more, Found one soon and that made four. Four little bees, going to the hive. Spied their little brother, and that made five. Five little bees working every hour-- Buzz away, bees, and find another flower. One little bee blew and flew. He met a friend, and that made two.

Jackie A. Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 How about making honey sandwiches or look for another recipe using honey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Today I saw a lovely Bee thing, the teacher had made hexagonal prisms with one end open. These were stuck on the wall in a honeycomb fashion mirroring a honey comb. then the children's bee models were displayed inside each of the honey cells. It looked fab.
