Explanation
A greeting card is a paper that makes someone happy on a holiday or a nice day. It is folded in half: a picture on the front and warm words inside. The honey bee is a hard-working insect that gives people honey. Living with a pet is a big responsibility, since an animal is not a toy and needs care.
Worked examples
Front: a yellow and black bee. Inside: “The sweetest wishes for you!”
Class activity
You need: coloured card, yellow, black and grey paper, scissors, glue, felt-tip pen. Steps: 1) Fold the card in half to make a card. 2) On the front glue a yellow oval (body), add black stripes and white wings. 3) On another card make the kitten: a grey circle head, triangle ears and whiskers. 4) Write a short wish inside. Safety: if you use thread for whiskers, hold it tight when cutting; never squeeze or frighten animals.
