Isaac B, from Class 5

The last day of term but I must share with you all these Photos of Isaac B’s amazing bee project. He has worked so hard on this as you can see and must be really proud of his effort as with all his home learning. Well done Isaac, you deserve a medal! – Mrs Daniel

Lola, from Class 6

A letter from Lola

Hi this morning Lola and her brother Caio went to visit their friend James who keeps Bees.

First we put on the Bee Suits so the Bees didn’t sting us and get into our faces. Then James lit some material to make smoke. So the Bees think there is a fire coming so they gather as much honey as they can and get ready to leave home, this makes them slower. We then looked inside the Bee Hive all the Bees flew out . We found some honey comb. Then we looked for the queen bee. She likes to hide in the dark. We knew she was the queen because she was quite big and fat compared to the other bees. Her job is to lay eggs and have babies. We saw  the baby bees ,which are grubs and some eggs. The worker bees were busy looking after them. All the other bees look after the babies and they are all female. Some of the bees go out to collect nectar and pollen. We saw the yellow pollen on the bees legs. James was stood in the way of the bees entrance and he had thousands on his leg! When we put the hive back together and walked away the bees stopped flying around us.

All her family became involved in what looks like an amazing performance, I would like to have been in the audience! Take a look at her lovely photos.

Harry, from Class 6

Hi Mrs Ruffell,
This morning, Harry thought of an animal for every letter of the alphabet. He had to Google an animal for  U – V – X and Y as they were very tricky. Harry also enjoyed I drawing the animals and watched ‘Art for kids ‘, to get ideas on how to draw them. Well done Harry.

This is my puppet show with pictures …

Once upon a time there was a boy called Harry.
He had two meerkats who he loved very much.
One day a wolf came along, he wanted to eat the meerkats.
Then Harry came and chased the wolf away. He never came back and they lived happily ever after

Harry, from Class 6
