Nana’s in the plum tree

Drawings by Murray Grimsdale
You need 3 people to read this story.
• Nana
• Young girl
• Narrator
Then I saw the bees. I could hear them buzzing. I could see them swarming in
the tree, like a big football made of bees. Nana was right beside them
holding a box.
I put the big box where Nana told me. I still didn’t want to look. But somehow I couldn’t help looking. Nana put her box on top of the big box, right under the swarm of bees. She told me to stand back. I stood back, all right! I hid. I hid behind the shed and peeped out.

Disclosure
What do you think this is?
Take a super close up of an object with a video camera
or a camera and children make predictions of what it is.
Could show it as a SlideShow with the first slide being
the close up, the next slide could show a little more and
so on until the children discover what it is.
This could be an introduction to a new topic.
