BEES, BEES, BUZZING BEES!

We have been learning lots about Bees this term. Here is a brainstorm of what we already know....

The Queen Bee:
1. She lays eggs in the Honeycomb.
2. She tells the Bees what they have to do.
3. She lays 100,000 Eggs a day!
4. She is the Boss.

The Worker Bees:
1. They get pollen and nectar from the flowers to feed to the Larvae.
2. They make the hives and honeycombs.
3. They stir the nectar with their long tongues.
4. They look after the eggs in the honeycomb.
5. The Worker Bees clean the hive.
6. They work all day and rest at night, just like us!

The Life Cycle of Bee:
We have learn the different stages of a Bee.
1. Egg
2. Larvae
3. Pupa
4. Adult Bee

Tomorrow we are going to the Arataki Honey Farm. We have lots of questions to ask.... Here are some of them...

What do the Worker Bees make the Honeycomb out of?

How do the Worker Bees make the Honey?

Why do Bees have sharp things to sting people and why do they die after?

How do the Worker Bees sting people with their little little stingers?


We can't wait to find out all the answers to our Questions! Stay tuned for some answers!

Our e-Learning Gurus in Room 3

On Tuesday night, some of Room 3 showed the adults of Mahora School what clever cookies they were on the i-Pads. We showed our Mums and Dads how we use the i-Pads to enhance our learning in Room 3. Thank you to all those parents that braved the rain and came out to support our fantastic School.
