Welcome to Bee Week of Journey to the Ugly Bug Ball!

‘Oh what a glorious thing to be, a healthy grown up busy, busy bee’!

This week we will be learning The Bee Song by Kenneth Blain! This song is so much fun and would be great with any actions you can think of! Here is a lovely poem to get you in the zone!

Here is a beehive,
But where are all the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Here they come creeping out of the hive.
One, two, three, four, five!
Bzzzzzzzzz!

This week your resources include:

  • All the musical resources you will need.
  • A brilliant bee fact sheet.
  • How to make an egg carton bee!
