We have two important events happening at the moment. All of September is Bee Awareness Month. Bees are very precious and do a very important job collecting pollen and taking it to other plants, like fruit and vegetables that we eat. They also make the delicious honey that we enjoy. As part of Bee Awareness Month we are learning all about bees and what makes them so special.
Today we watched this little movie to introduce us to bees:
We had a chat about the facts we had learnt from the video:
Then we used a reference picture to do our own line drawings of honey bees. We had to make sure we had four wings and six legs, a head, thorax and abdomen. Great, careful work Pikopiko!
The other important event is Keep NZ Beautiful week that started today. There will be lots of fun activities happening around the school. Today everyone took home a special competition puzzle sheet to complete at home. If you bring this back to the box in the library before Friday you will be in the draw!
Wow Pikopiko! So exciting to see all of your activities and learning about bees for Bee Awareness Month already. I can't wait to hear all about the new things you are learning. I hope you will have some time to share with the other teams - I know the Senior children would love to have you come in and share your learning with them. Mrs Haddock.
