What's all the buzz about?

Ms. Daniela's group learned a new song last week called Baby Bumblebee and their interest quickly turned to all things bee related. Here's how the week started: 

On Tuesday we focused on dramatic play as the children worked on bee crowns with antenna



And what is a bee without wings?



On Wednesday we focused on sensory play with honey playdough




On Thursday we had a visual representation art activity that turned honeycomb cereal into bee hives



The kids had so many questions about bees!
Do all bees have wings? -Sophia
Do bees stay out during the winter? -Mya
How do bees make their houses? -Rylan
Do bees have babies? - Sofia
How do bees make honey? -Maja

By Friday we were able to arrange for a visitor to educate the children about bees and how they make honey thanks to our friend Marg from Marg's Honey in Lorette. 


After Marg's presentation, the children were able to explore all things bee like photos, hives, beeswax, they even got to taste test honey from around the world! 







We've been continuing on with our bee discussion this week so stay tuned for what's next!
