We had lots of fun celebrating World Bee Day on Thursday 20th May. The rain couldn’t stop us exploring the world of bees and completing so many un-BEE-lievable activities.
BEE-autiful Writing
Many classes decided to use bees as a stimulus for writing. Junior infants wrote some fantastic sentences based on a bee picture. Senior infants created some exciting acrostic poems about bees. 1st and 2nd class spend the morning learning about different bees and the lifecycle of bees before writing their own pieces about bees. 3rd class learnt lots of bee facts too and displayed them like a huge honeycomb.
Buzzing about our Pictures
We had lots of bee artwork created throughout the school. We have some incredible artists in the school who blew us away with their creations.
Yummy Honey
1st and 2nd class became honey connoisseurs for the afternoon tasting and comparing 2 types of honey. They used their sense of smell, sight and taste to differentiate between the brands and some of the children had a clear favourite. We were spoilt to even have a piece of honeycomb brought into us on Friday.
