Expressive Arts

Betsy and Bertie Bumble had worked together in the Honeywood University Research Laboratory for a long time. Bertie had enjoyed training Betsy. She was great fun to work with, she was a quick learner, and she came up with exciting ideas! 

One day a worried Queen Beeatrice tells them both that she has just received some awful news that a terrible disease called Beezles is on its way to Honeywood very soon.

All the creatures in Honeywood will need to work together to try and help the bees and with Professor Baillie’s help, make testing kits, medicine, and a vaccine... but will they save the bees in time?

Find the images of all the right hand pages so you can see Save the Bees on the IWB.

Use this presentation to learn all about the basics of symmetry. Encourage the children to identify the line of symmetry on each creature and identify which creatures are not symmetrical.

All creatures look different on the outside. Some are symmetrical and some are not. Use this lesson to learn all about symmetry, and print off the template to make your own symmetrical minibeast.

Use the cut outs to decorate your own symmetrical minibeast. Encourage the children to consider the shapes and colours they cut out to ensure their minibeast is symmetrical.

Use this template as a base for your symmetrical minibeast. Cut and stick different coloured shapes to create fun patterns. Remember to make sure your mini beast is symmetrical.

In the story ‘Bella Bumble’s Waggle Dance’ Bella managed to find a safe, clean water supply for the bees which helped them get better. The bees want to celebrate Bella for her resilience and bravery, so they decide to have a party. Ask pupils to design and make a party hat to help them celebrate.
