Bee Days

On Thursday we had a Year 4 bee day. We had a go at making bee related products as part of our bee topic. Thank you to all of the lovely parent helpers who came along. We really could not have done it without you.
After making the products, we came back to class to write instructions for the things we made. Read some of these below.
On Friday Sue came into talk to use about her bee hives and how she gets honey from them. It was really interesting.
Before assembly we watched this video all about bees and why they are important and how we can help. We have been doing our own writing about this in class. See that below too.

How to make a bees wax candle

I am going to teach you how to make a bees wax candle I think you should have a bees wax candle because it smells so nice.

You will need:
1. Bees wax
2. Wick

First you get the wax then you get the wick after you place the wick on the edge of the bees wax then you roll the wax and the wick up really tight so it will make a cylinder shape and your done there you go your very own bees wax candle.
This kind of bees wax is actually recycled because if you were a bee keeper you won’t be able to do anything with the bees wax but now you can by making a candle.

How to make a bees wax candle

I am going to tell you how to make a bees wax candle candles have been around for over 5,000 years.

First you will need: a sheet of wax paper and a wick

Firstly you put the wick on the edge of the wax. Next you roll up the wax. Finally you press the end of the wax down so it doesn’t flap around.

And that’s how you make a bees wax candle.

                                Seed bombs

What is a seed bomb?

A seed bomb is a big seed that grows by itself.

In London there are soldiers called gorilla solider, they go into damp and not nice places and threw seed bombs onto the land and make the place a better one.

You need…

Clay, dirt, water, seeds and a container.

First get the container and put in a little dirt and add a clump of clay. Next ad more dirt then add more water and mash and squish it up add the seeds and put it out to dry.

 

What can you do with it?

You can put it in your garden and it will grow and you don’t have to plant or water as long as it has got rain.

How to make seed bombs

Seed bombs are good for the bees because they plan more flowers and you don’t have to water them.

Step 1. First get some clay then put it in a bucket with soil then mix it around.

Step 2. Next pour some water into the bucket with the soil.

Step 3. Roll it into a ball and put some seeds in it and then leave it to dry. And then you can give it to someone or throw it in your garden and grow beautiful flowers to look at and that the bees can eat the nectar from.

                               Bees 

You can run through the forest hearing the soft humming and buzzing of bees. So if you like honey and food you better help save the bees do you want to live save the bees 1/3 of the food you eat is good because of bees so do something know.  

We need to do something about bees dying all over the world. If we don’t do something the world will end us humans and animals.

So help the bees.

Bees are important not just with honey but with our survival without bees,
