Lesson plan

Discuss the importance of working as a team to tackle difficult situations. Just like the bees, the children must help and support each other. Use the activity and presentation to understand what makes a good team and then put this to the test in 6 Bee Brilliant challenges.

Children to create video messages to send to the bees at the hospital.

Bees do a happy waggle dance when they go out to collect pollen. Use this lesson to create and choreograph your very own waggle dance. Use our song and lyrics to learn the song and perform your own dance.

Children to name the different ways that people can pay for things and can explain some reasons people might use these ways to pay.

Children will be challenged to devise a disaster survival kit, they will need to decide the best 5 items to take, giving valid reasons for their choices.

Children to think about how Betsy was proud of her sister when she managed to improve her flying skills by practising and being determined. Children to share who supports them and encourages them, therefore filling their heart.
