Bee Provocation

It all began when the children took a keen interest in bees during our environment and sustainability provocation.

At the beginning of the term I asked the children to create a painting that showed me what they wanted to learn about this term. They must have still had bees on their mind as many bee paintings appeared.

Next the children observed some images of bees through a magnifying glass. They wrote down things they thought, saw and wondered.

Many wonderings were "How do bees make honey?" To investigate this we watched some video clips on youtube.

To remember what the process was the children also looked in books and I thought it would be fun to role play each step. The children chose whether they wanted to be worker bees, flowers, house bees or honey-comb cells. They had a great time acting out how bees make honey. The children are also writing explanations on how bees make honey. Be sure to come in and check them out.
