Buzz, buzz, buzzzzzzzz

We have had a little bit of an unplanned bee theme going on in Room 6. First we read 'Willbee the Bumblebee' by the NZ author Craig Smith. It is a very funny story and you can read the words on Craig's website: http://www.craigsmith.co.nz/lyrics-willbee-the-bumblebee.php We were also lucky enough to hear Craig read and sing us the story last week when he visited Waiuku. Recently we read a story called 'Bertha and the Beeman' and we have even examined a dead bumblebee closely under our microscoope. So, now that we knew exactly what they looked like we decided it was time to draw some bees. The children used a computer programme called Kidspix. First they needed to draw the picture with black outlines before they filled in the colour.
