Bees Are Amazing Term 2 2019 PENN Movie

"Bees are really amazing insects.  They help flowers, food crops and trees grow and we use their honey.  They may look small and cute but they are very hard working.

A bee can fly up to 9 kilometres to find pollen and nectar to take back to the hive.  When it finds a good source the bee shows the other bees how to find the nectar.  It does a "waggle dance" to show the position of the flowers in relation to the sun and the hive.

Bees are important and we need to look after them."

Filipo's Bee Story

"The bee can sting when you annoy them.  The bees make honey in their hive."  Picture and story by Filipo

Utukura's Duffy Certificate

Utukura has been helping me tidy up the classroom after school while he waits for his sister to collect him.  He wasn't asked to help but he saw the chairs weren't up and some of the things weren't in the right place so he decided to use his "helping hands" to help.  Thank you Utukura for seeing what needed to be done and doing something about it.
