Bee information report

WALT

We are learning to write an information report.

 Success Criteria:

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

WHAT IS A BEEHIVE?

Do you know what a beehive is?  It is a home for bees to live in. It is usually
a dome or box like structure and it is an enclosed area for the bees sometimes
it is a man made structure. Each beehive has a different colony of bees.
Wild bees and honey bees have completely different hives. The wild bee hives
are dome shaped and the honey bee hive is normally rectangular or  box like. 

HOW IS A BEEHIVE HIVE MADE?

Do you know how beehives are made? The bees use some sugar contents
from the honey and turn it into wax. The wax comes out of the bees pores.
Then bees chew the wax until it is soft and they make hexagonal cells called
a honeycomb. There are lots of them in the beehive. The Beehive is
comparable to a bird's nest to protect the bees. The beehive is made mostly
of beeswax to make the hive. 

WHAT IT IS THE BEEHIVE USED
FOR?

Have you ever wondered what beehives are used for? The bee hive is used
for storing food, living in it and making honey. The bees store the food and
honey and pollen in the hexagonal sells. They also use the beehive to rase
eggs larvae and pupae. The bees make honey in the 

hive and to live in it.

lake Daniell

On the 12 of June 2019 Room 1 and 8 did the Lake Daniell day tramp we drove to Springs Junction at 9am in the morning and got there around 11am I travelled with Xavier and his parent my group wanted there until everyone else got there and we did a number off.

We started walking the track after Ms Kemp went over some stuff. When we started walking the track I was getting cold so I put another jersey on. I walked with my sister pretty much the whole way. We had to stop at fifteen minutes so we could get a drink but we also had a bit of a snack. The next stop was at 30 minutes but after about 10 minutes I was feeling sick but I did not tell anyone.

At 30 minutes we had morning tea after morning tea we started walking again and stopped at 40 minutes. The teacher told us we 2km away from the lake which was only about 25 minutes away. When we got to the lake I walked on the jetty and then we had lunch. I had some hot chocolate so I drank all of that and I had some food. When everyone had finished there lunch we set off to get back to the start of the track.

This time we were going to stop at 1 hour after that 1 hour had passed, we stopped and got a drink. We started walking again and we got a little bit passed the halfway mark we stopped and got a drink and ate a bit of food. We carried on and it felt like 10 minutes but it was probably 50 minutes. When we were back at the start of the track we got a photo and then we hopped in the parents cars. We arrived back to school around 6:10.

We were completing the Lake DanielI tramp because we were learning about hypothermia because it was meant to be really cold. I liked this tramp because it was fun and a bit challenging.

Callaghan's ridge walk

On the 11 of april Room 1 and 8 went off to do the Callaghans Ridge day tramp. We got our car group together and headed off. We went through Kumara and through dillmans town. We started the walk and it was raining but it cleared throughout the walk. Every 25 minutes we stopped for a brake. When we stopped everyone put there rain jackets on and had some snacks it was still raining. About 25 minutes after we had stopped the sun just decided it would just become sunny. 2 hours and 30 minutes into the walk we built our shelter to have lunch in after lunch we keeped walking and it wasent long till we got to the end of the track.

 

How Do Bees Pollinate

          How Do Bees Pollinate

Bees are important to the world. The bees pollinate flowers when
the bees get the nectar by digging in the flower. The bees get
nectar from the flower. The pollen is located on the anther on the
flower. The pollen sticks to the bee like Velcro then when the bee
goes to another flower the pollen off the bee transfers to the other
flower and brushes it onto the stigma. Bees are important to us
because they make more seeds for the flowers and they help
make the fruit and vegetables.

Learning Intentions

We are learning to understand the importance of bees in
nature through learning about pollination and interdependence.

We are learning to take key information from an information
report and write it in our own words. 

Writing task: Bee experts

Write a paragraph about how bees pollinate flowers. 

The paragraph should:

• Have a heading.
• Have a minimum of four sentences.
• Explain how bees pollinate flowers.
• Tell us why this is important.
• Be aimed for Miss Ireland’s class so they can understand this.
• Be written in your own words.
• Use your photo of your flower cut in half.
• Use an additional photo or diagram if you wish.
