The first programme of the unit is based on simple movements inspired by bees and in particular patterns of movement as bees pass on messages.1 - Bees Do the Waggle Dance

2 - Digging for Worms

The movements in the second programme are inspired by that most useful of garden creatures - the common earth worm Our worm nearly becomes a tasty meal for a robin in the garden - but this worm is stubborn and manages to escape.

In the final programme of the unit children begin by moving as dragonflies, before combining elements from all the programmes to make a narrative "minibeasts" dance.
