Bees Reflection

                    Bees!!!
Hi i'm Omari and this is my reflection about Bees. This term extension has been learning about bees and how they are surviving and dying. We heard that Bees are so important to earth because of many things.

Today the 3rd of December a beekeeper had come in to talk to us about bees. Her name was Rosemary and she showed us beehives with bees in them and larvaes. She also showed and talked to us about Varroa mites, nectar, facts about bees and life and more.
I learnt about heaps of thing about bees this term. I learnt that bees help in a lot of things like food, billions of dollars being lost when bees die, flowers, hive and more. I hope next year we do more fun things like this and see more experts.

Have you ever been to Kawau Island? Do you know how to get there? Well you have to take a bus then a ferry or a Helicopter? At Kawau island there is a camp called Camp Bentzon which has heaps of activities including an obstacles course.

My most favourite activity at Kawau island was kayaking. I loved kayaking because I always was with the teachers because I was fast and good. When I was kayaking I tried to look for stingrays at Stingray Bay but sadly I saw none.


My other favourite activity was sailing. I really enjoyed it and it was in the water and I love the water. My favourite part was pulling the rope and tiller to the sail. I was great and fast at sailing and I had a race which at the start I was losing but at the end I was winning.

I can’t wait for the next camp. I won't be at Pt England school next year. I’m going to Howick Intermediate. I wish I could go to Kawau Island again for two weeks.
