Enviro day

On Thursday, my school had an enviro day. We had an enviro day because we were going for our silver so each of the classrooms got tested to try and go for our silver.We had a welcome for Kauri and her friend Kirsty. Some of the songs were Kawaita, Hallelujah and some other songs they were like harmony to my ears. The boys did the haka. After the welcome we went back to class and did arts and crafts for the whole day. We had to bring in single use plastic and other things we did not need like disks, egg cartons and more stuff. What I made was a plastic bottle vase that I put my board bean into. My plastic bottle vase was sort of shaped like puppycorn and my friend Mya’s was shaped and painted like unikitty. Once you finish your bottle vase then you need to put fresh soil, make a little hole in the middle of the soil then put your board bean in the hole and cover the board bean with some more cold like soil. Then after lunch we made maori kites. We made the kites out of Toi Toi I only made my kite halfway through because we had to stop and pack up. I took my bottle vase home. Then we got green gold. The next day I was not at school so I could not finish my kite which was a bit sad but at least I could water my board bean and let it grow.    

      

The power of words

Today we were learning the words of stop. S is step away. T is tell a trusted adult. O is okay sites first. P is pause and think online. you should always follow these rules when on your chromebooks.

I enjoyed putting in the pictures from the explore tool on my slides because we got to choose the pictures.

I found it challenging to remember the words for stop because we had to remember all of the words . 

My digital learning object shows the power of words when your on your chromebook. 

Next time I would change the background of my slides because I just have a blank background.

  

A Bee

A bee is a living insect. It is part of the Hymenoptera or the Apidae family. The Hymenoptera family includes sawflies,wasps,bees and ants. The Apidea family are many different winged wasps and bees.


Bees have three basic parts of their body the head,thorax and the abdomen. When a bee stings you their organs come out. To get the stinger to come out use a credit card or use your finger nail and just scrape along the skin. Don't try and pinch or use tweezers to get it out because it will just pump more venom into your blood. The bee will die after a while. Most honey is sweet like manuka honey and their is hard honey like whipped honey. (Top tip the bee is smarter than the average human and bees beat their wings 230 times per second).


Bees live all over the world and in warm places. In the spring and summer bees pollinate flowers and in the winter they stay in the hive because it's so cold outside. The most common place for a bee to live is in a beehive. The normal beehives have frames. The frames have the honeycomb. The honeycombs have the honey. The honeycomb is made out of beeswax.


Bees can be very dangerous if you harm the bee it can sting you this is the bee’s defence mechanism, so you need to be careful. A bee can make a buzzing sound when its flying. Why do bees have black and yellow stripes you may ask? Well the black and yellow stripes is the caution sign so when you are close to a bee and its tail starts shaking that means that you should back away.
