Whilst the rest of the school were at the theatre on Wednesday, Bumblebees had a fun afternoon planned.
We started off with a big game of hide and seek around the whole school to burn off some energy. The children were very excited to hide in the ‘big children’ classrooms and were amazed at how quiet and calm the school was without anyone there.

We then settled down to watch a movie on the beanbags, with cookies and milk.
We all had great fun and surprisingly, the children managed to stay awake until the end of the film. What a lovely afternoon Bumblebees!

Bumblebees thoroughly enjoyed taking part in ‘A Wriggly Nativity’ and dressing up as Chickens, Donkeys and Cows.

They loved learning all of the songs and dances over the last few weeks and they performed amazingly on the day (and night)!

Well done our little Bumblebees, we are SO proud of you !

Following on from our work on the five senses, the children in Bumblebees completed a science experiment using ice.

They explored the ice with their hands using their sense of touch, used descriptive language that they had learnt earlier in the week to explain how the ice felt and then they each predicted what would happen when the ice was placed into a bowl of hot water.

The children had great fun and especially enjoyed watching the hot water being poured over the ice and watching it melt away.

After the ice had melted, we added containers, spoons and bowls and the children made their own ‘Christmas Tree Potion’.

Fantastic work Bumblebees!

This week in Bumblebees we have been learning about our senses. The children had a great time using sight and touch to help them to complete our ‘Search and Find’ activity.
The children had to choose a picture and then try to find the correct item in the Tuff Tray full of loose parts.
The children loved the activity and had great fun.
