SPEECH

My Speech

I bet you like bees, but you’re scared of them stinging you. Did you know that no bees, and when I say no bees I mean absolutely no bees, would mean the end of world? And I know, it  sounds intense but it’s true. No bees equals no us! Did you know we would only survive 3 years without bees?                              

Well to help bees we need to feed them, bees eat bee balm, snapdragons, foxglove and hosta in the summer. Bees like to hang around some certain plants, such as black eyed, lavender, marjoram, stonecrop and goldenrod only to name a few. Bees favourite flowers to hang around is lavender and marjoram.  Now you know how to make a bee friendly garden.

Last week we were running around our garden and all of a sudden a bee came out of nowhere, and everyone ran off not because my brother was chasing them but because the bee was cashing them across the lawn, While i’m just standing there watching them run across the lawn, hopelessly waiting for the bee to stop chasing them. Eventually when my sister was to tired to run anymore, she stopped and then the bee flew around her for a while but then the bee flew away. So that goes to show if you bother the bee the bee will bother you.

Well bet you didn’t think this most of our food will be gone. For example almonds. All almonds won’t exist. California produces around about 2.1 billion pounds of almonds every year. This supplies 80% of the global demand for almonds. Almonds depend entirely on bees to pollinate the almond trees, it's that simple no bees no almonds. There are other foods like chocolate, coffee and apples.

What is killing bees? I’ll tell you it’s pollution, such as harmful gasses, dust and smoke which enters into the air. This air pollution is killing bees. Bees don’t see very well, and depend a great deal on their sense of smell to lead them flowers bursting with pollen. According to research bees are finding it intensely difficult to locate flowers due to high levels of air pollution that interferes with the flowers scent.

Well now you know how to take care of bees and what will happen without them. So remember we must remember to take care of these little creatures and that they are a giant part of the ecosystem. So now will you be scared if you hear a bee buzz by?

Rotations

Room 8: In room 8 we did music the song heathens, Were going to share the song for assembly. I like music and have always wanted to play the keyboard or piano, and this year I got to play the keyboard. I really wan't to be in a mini band now and wan't to be as good as Mr Gemmel. 

Room 9: In room 9 we did gymnastics, and I know I've said in all my other blogs, But I LOVE gymnastics, I do composition gymnastics so I have to do Twisters. ( Twisters is the hardest level )

Room 10 : we had to make up a game to teach to the little kids. our game was like the game octopus it was called speed run.    

Reflection Week 6 Term 3

Maths: in maths we did decimals and learnt how to use a algorithm to add decimals. I found this easy and fun, I didn't like decimals at the start, But now I find them fun and a good challenge for me. We had follow up question that we had to make up. I liked doing this because some people made there questions hard so that was a good challenge.

Production: well after morning tea we went to the hall to do production. I'm in the first dance (the class room scene) we have been going over the production constantly.

PRODUCTION

My Role : In the production I was a school kid, our scene was on in the first 10 minuets. After that I just had to wait 35 (ish) minuets till its finished.  This is a pic of me

I found the bit that we had to move the chairs the hardest. My favorite part is where we do the who let the dogs out, and the final song. I think it was fun... Next time i'll try out for a speaking part.

My Costume was simple, I needed a school t-shirt and black shorts/pants. I think we look cool. So overall I enjoyed it.

Reflection week 9 Term 3

Maths: In maths we did A LOT of Mathlectics. and we also learnt how to convert a improper fraction into a mixed fraction. We did a worksheet on it, I found this fun and easy to do but some of them were hard. It was a good challenge for me.

Gym sports: On Wednesday I went to Hamilton to represent the school. I can 2nd on the vault, 3rd on the floor, 3rd on mat and 3rd overall, I also got a bronze meddle for it. So I did pretty well.

                            ( I wasn't at school on Wednesday because of gym sports )

Reflection Week 8 Term 3

Maths : In maths we did Mathletics and like always a Figure it out. I did mine with Nathan we had to figure if there was enough space on the island if the sea rose and the water came up and covered up the first layer of houses. The answer was yes, I found this activity fun and easy.

Reading : In reading we had to read a book and then write down 5 facts in the book and design our own version on what the book was based on.

Production : Production was GREAT I didn't mess up or do the wrong move. It was so fun most of my family came I loved it. Although our dance was first and then we just have to wait to the end it was fun to watch.

                                         ( I wasn't here on Wednesday and Thursday )

Reflection Term 3 Week 7

Maths: in maths we have been learning about fractions and how to answer questions like this 1 fifth of 40 = 8. we have also have been given a work sheet with question like the one 1 fifth of 40 = 8. I got 7 out of 10 (I think)

production : I'm in the class room bit in the production (the first scene) I like our dance because it's funny. My favorite scene is the trees and the birds. I think were ready for our first performance I'm SO nervous though.

Reflection Term 3 Week 5

Reading: in reading we did brain bank (mine was about leafs) I had to rewrite a sentence that had spelling mistakes, But that was easy.

Writing: in writing we did handwriting which didn't take long. It was well just coping off a computer. We also had to do 10 sentences that had our spelling words in them. But the hard bit was finding them in a dictionary.

Production: in production we had a run through of our production.(our dance is on first gulp) They recorded us and are going to use it as a teaser so people come to watch.

Reflection Week 4 Term 3

Maths : in maths we did a long division line that I really enjoyed it was fun and I think it was a great challenge for me, I got one off the hard division lines right and one off them wrong. We also did mathlectics and I got ANOTHER bronze meddle for getting 1000 points.

Reading : in reading we did a proof reading and editing, I found it hard to find all off the mistakes. (still haven't found them all yet) The proof reading was about Albert einstein. We also did a static image excise, We had to color in a picture and use the opposite shade to evoke different emotions.

Production : for production we have to do this silly dance and then go into who let the dogs out which none of us know the who let the dogs out dance and it's nearly the show! I like doing the production but some of the kids go off task. and make it hard to learn.

       

Reflection Week 3 Term 3

Maths: in maths we had to do this work sheet and go down to the mat to mark the sheet the times tables on the sheet were quite easy but the measurement was hard. I came down to the mat for a recap on measurement. Now I get how to do measurement and it is a easy as cake. (don't know easy cake is but i'm guessing pretty easy)

Reading : in reading we did some plays that were really fun ours was about a robot that drives buses, We also did a reading quiz about the book you are reading your reading buddy had to choose some book questions and you had to answer them, I found this easy because we read just be for the quiz.
