Buzzing Around! - Reception

The children have been engaging in various activities linked to our text ‘The Sleepy Bumblebee’. They manipulated playdough to create bees, used a potato masher to paint a swarm of bees and created a collage hive using cereal.

During PE, we have looked at how different minibeasts move in different ways including fluttering like a butterfly, hovering like a dragonfly and scuttling like a beetle. They created movements to represent the angry gardener stomping through his garden.

The children explored different jobs the gardener needs to complete including digging the soil.

Raking the leaves from side to side.

Sawing logs in half.

Sowing the seeds.
