Dissecting Flowers

We dissected flowers today to see how bees pollinate and fertilisation happens. Thanks Toby for bringing in some flowers.

Robotic Dinosaur Show

Today we went to watch a dinosaur show in the school hall. The dinosaur was about 7 feet tall and it was skin coloured with green blobs all over it. By Trevor

Japanese Students

Today we had a visit from some Japanese students who knew very little English so it was an interesting experience. They helped us with our buddy art and weaving. We tried to ask simple questions to find out a bit about Japan.

Beekeeper Visit

Today some friends of Mrs Tito came to talk to us about beekeeping- Milton and his son Matthew! They showed us a hive and the parts that make up a hive. It was good to hear that bees are producing well in New Zealand.

We all had a go at answering the question...

Do we need bees at Trentham School?

This is what Aria wrote.

Do we need bees at Trentham School ?

Yes, I think we do need bees at Trentham School because bees help flowers live by giving them pollen which they take and turn into honey.  That means we can have honey at breakfast club on toast.

Bees are harmless. People think bees are mean and sting for the sake of it but they do not sting for the sake of it .They only hurt you if they think you’re going to hurt them. It’s like having a pet cat. Cats only scratch or bite you if you hurt them or if they misread your body language.

So if you think bees hurt you and that they are useless, well think again. People only touch on what bees do wrong and only some people see all the good things bees do for the world.

So give the bees second chance. We get given second chances so why can't the bees have a second chance too? That’s why I think bees should be at Trentham School.

So if this does not change your mind then just try to remember all the good bees do for you and if you like honey, well thank the bees for making it! Try to see the world without bees.You would not even last four years- it’s a fact !
