Bee Campaigns

This week we have been creating bee campaigns. (I'm sure you know as we showed all of the upper school today). Our campaign (Edie and Rosie's) was called 'Save Hives, Save Lives'. We visited 3H and we think they enjoyed all of the presentations.They were very supportive and the campaigns were successful.

Also in Mr Hempleman's maths class we have started doing co-ordinates, it is fun but hard. However, in Mr Hancock's maths group we have been doing level 6 and level 7 multiplying and dividing fractions which is VERY HARD.

In English we have made posters to encourage you to help the bees survive. Also we have made paper plates to show what food we would have for tea if bees did not pollinate the plants, ie no pizza, chocolate or vegetables! They are on display by Mr H's classroom. Here is a picture of them:

Maths and Bees!

This week in Mr Hempleman's maths group we have been doing long division (the hangman method.)  Also in Mr Hancock's maths group they are working on fractions. It was really fun but we had to work really hard to achieve our goals.

 

In topic today we have learnt about what will happen if bees die.  If bees die we will only live 4 years longer. We have been making posters to encourage people to save and protect these amazing mini-beasts (who are crucial to the survival of mankind.)

 

This morning we have been writing our termly writes. We had to write an information page about bees and their life style.

 

Last Thursday was world book day. We saw some wonderful costumes: Rosie came as Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games and Edie dressed up as Geek Girl. Oliver T was Daddy Pig and looked very convincing!

 

Also, please don't forget that this Thursday is the SAT's Information Meeting at 6:30pm in the Lower School Hall.  Thank you.

Learning about Bees

This term our topic has been Bees. We have been learning a lot about these fascinating flying insects:

• Bees pollinate over 1/4 of our worlds plants and food
• Bees are slowly dying and without bees we would have barely any food
• Without bees there would be no chocolate or dairy products!
• It would cost farmers over £1.8 billion a year to pollinate our crops!

Also we made bees out of card and wrote our facts on the back. We have learnt a lot about the life cycle of a bee! It was so interesting!

Today wrote and drew on paper plates what we would have to eat if there were no bees to pollinate the plants.  We would have barely anything - no sugary things, no dairy, no fruit or vegetables (except maybe bananas, kiwi and mangoes!)

Later on this term we will be writing information pages all about Bees and hopefully learning even more about these remarkable insects.
