Music Resource Description
The 'Bee, bee, bumble bee' is a charming rhythmic chant designed for Reception children to explore the fundamentals of rhythm and pulse. The chant is structured with simple, catchy lines that are easy to remember and recite. It starts with the words "Bee, bee, bumble bee, stung a man upon his knee," followed by "stung a pig upon his snout, I say you're out!" The notation provided guides the rhythm with a series of crotchets (quarter notes) and pairs of quavers (eighth notes), which children can chant and clap along to, helping them internalise the difference between the steady pulse and the varying rhythm of the words.
The educational activities accompanying the chant are progressive, allowing children to engage with the concept of rhythm and pulse through a variety of methods. Initially, they begin by simply chanting the words. As they become more confident, they move on to tapping the pulse, clapping the rhythm, and using rhythm names like 'Ta' and 'Te-te' to articulate the sounds of the crotchets and quavers. More advanced exercises involve using thinking voices, clapping, and playing instruments to represent the chant's rhythm or pulse. Group activities encourage collaboration, with children dividing into groups to play different lines of the chant on various instruments, building and diminishing the texture of the piece. The lesson plan also includes movement-based activities, such as walking to the pulse or rhythm, which help to reinforce the children's understanding of these fundamental musical concepts in a fun and interactive way.
