The Bumblebee

The bumblebee is not just a black and yellow insect that stings people. It is actually a very fascinating insect.
Firstly because it flies. To fly it flexes its wings and flaps them so fast that it buzzes.
Secondly because they live very close. They live in New Zealand and Australia. They live in hives and in those hives they make honey.
Lastly its predators are badgers, birds and skunks. Skunks stink, I can see how bumblebees don't like them. To get away from its predators they hide in flowers. Then they fly from flower to flower collecting nectar. The nectar is used to make honey.
As I said bumblebees are very nice insects. They still sting though.

The House Challenge

Last Friday we had a house challenge. The houses are Kowhai, Tawa and Miro. Kowhai is yellow, Tawa is blue and Miro is green. I am in Kowhai. We had some big shields. They were all equally amazing but in the end someone had to win. That house was........ Kowhai. Well done Kowhai!!!!

The Birds At The Museum

Today we went to Wanganui Regional Museum. We looked at birds and how they fly. There was a huge moa bone. One of the birds only had one eye. We had a worksheet to complete. We had to draw a bird. Mine was alright. Then we went upstairs to the bug room. There were disgusting bugs everywhere. I learnt that the kereru doesn't fly straight. I can't wait until the next time I go to the museum.
