Play, Make, Create Week 8 Term 3 2021

 On Friday, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation.  This week Mrs Craig Read the book: Maui and the sun.

  It was about the Maori myth which explains how/why the sun moves across the sky.

 I chose to Design a plan to capture or slow down the sun that Maui didn’t think of.

Diet Bee’s diet consists of pollen,nectar and honey. While bees are still larvae the worker bees feed them a type of jelly called royal jelly for the first three days from when they are hatched another type of bee who eats royal jelly is the bee queen.

Habitat They live in a thing called a hive.The hive was built by worker bees by chewing wax until it becomes soft, then cominding large amounts of wax until they become hexagon shaped cells of honeycomb. They use the hexagons to hold things like eggs, larvae and honey.

Threats Bees have many threats such as wasps and this disease called american foulbrood.They also have threats like climate change and pesticides.

Reproduction The queen lays her eggs using an organised pattern,placing each egg next to others within a cell of honeycomb. The queen lays the eggs in the middle of the cell so workers can put food on the edges.
