Bee Report

Sources: Number One   Number Two Number three

 Success Criteria:

 We will plan and then write an information report on a topic of our choice related to bees.

Our report will:

• Be interesting!
• Give information about a topic of our choice related to bees.
• Show a clear link to our planning.
• Start with an opening statement about our topic.
• Have at least 3 paragraphs.  Each paragraph will have an opening
• statement and a series of facts related to that statement.
• Include some complex or compound sentence structures.
• Include at least one diagram, photograph, illustration or map to go with the text.
• Finish with a general statement about the topic.
• Use information from at least 3 different sources.  This information will
• be written in our own words and we will write down our sources at the end of our report.

Did you know that bees pollinate 70% of our  crops. Also
If we did not have bees then there would be no tomatoes,
which means NO PIZZA, and no pizza means depression.
Bees pollinate 200 billion dollars worth of crops each year.
They also give us nice flowers, that we no longer would
be able to smell and enjoy,  this also would be a bit more dull and boring.

Some trees need bees to live, so if bees died out, then trees
would as well. If we did not have any trees there would be no
more oxygen. Without oxygen there will be no animals.
But more scary, no us. We will all die without trees and bees
could be a reason why we all die. Also if there were less and
less trees we would have no food, because bees pollinate 70 %
of our crops so if we had no animals we would most likely have
no have no food because crops and meat is about most of our food source.

Here are some ways that we could help the bees. 

1: Plant bee friendly plants to pollinate

2:Create more spots for them to make a hive

3:Plant more flowers

4:Have an hour of the whole class getting to plant flowers and plants.

5: Stop using pesticides

6: Let your lawns grow wild with flowers

Those were some easy ways to help the bees.

Hopefully our class gets to go outside and plant some bee
friendly pants and flowers, because I really like bees and I
would hate the world without them.

Marae Visit

               Marae Visit

This week room 1 and 8 went up to the marae for the william pike
challenge. We had lots of fun and this is what I did on our trip.
I hope you enjoy.

 Firstly, When we entered the marae we had to go through
the powhiri process when we arrived at the gate we started
singing our waiata ‘He Honore’ Then someone came and
opened the gate for us. When we finished singing Miss Ireland
  and another lady did the kiranga as we walked slowly towards the
door. At the door we took off our shoes and went inside. It was amazing!
There were LED color panels and lots of poe on the ceiling and walls.

About 2 hours later after morning tea and talking more
about the poe and writing in our booklets, we walked down
to the river where we looked for pounamu.I didn't find any but 4
people did. I also did paper scissors rock and won some pounamu.
Then we walked to the beach where we made sand sculptures of a
story we had listened to, and then we went back to the maraee for some
tea and smores. Then Miss Kemp told us it was lights out, and then we
rushed to bed and tried to sleep.

Callaghan's Ridge

On thursday the 11th of april  Room 8, Room 1 , Mrs Kemp and parents drove up to Callaghans Ridge for the 4 hour walk.  We had arranged our own groups of three but there were too many people to Nevey and I joined Mackenzie, briged and Summers group.

 When we started the walk it didn't feel like a 4 hour walk.
But then we had to stop every 20 minutes to re group.
When we had been walking for an hour and a half we
stopped to make our shelter and we could eat our lunch
under. We had to eat in our groups which was sad because
I wanted to sit with Milan.  Then we packed up our shelter and
started walking again.

I started walking with Milan and daneil and we
kept jumping in muddy puddles until we got to
the sign that said “Car park in 1km.” So we started
running until we got very tired and had to walk. The
closer we got the more excited I was. When we saw
the car park, I started running and drank some water.
Then we had to all sit down and get in the cars and drive back to school.

Lake Daniell

Lake Daniell

On Wednesday I woke up after a 7 hour sleep and not wanting to get up. As my Mum yelled at me countless times, I decided to get up. As I rushed around the house doing nothing, I finally grabbed my bag and yelled at my Mum for being late.

When we arrived at school we went over the basics and packed our bags into Erin's car as mum and I jumped in. It took one and a half hours to get there but when we arrived we jumped out for fresh air.

When we started walking I instantly felt the 7 hour sleep kick in. We walked for 15 minutes till we stopped for a short break. When we started walking again, me and Nevey we at the front, until we stopped from our next 30 minute walk.

We arrived at Lake Daniell  ( it took 2 hours and 20 minutes  to get there) and we had some food and skimmed rocks on the lake until we had to start walking back. It only took us one hour and 40 minutes to get back because we only had one stop on the way back. When we got in the car it felt really good to sit on something soft!

We completed the Lake Daniell walk because we were learning about, the umbles, hypothermia and for the William Pike Challenges.
