Printing-Bee Art

Alyssa and Jessica

In science, we have been learning about honeybees. We researched facts about honeybees and found out about how they work together to build their hives.

We realised that the cells within the honeycombs are hexagon shaped.  We used bubblewrap and cardboard to create a printing tool. We then worked in pairs to print our own hives.

We also looked at photos  of honeybees and identified the different shapes we could use to draw them.  We then stuck our bees onto our printed hives. We were very pleased with the results.

Welcome to our class and our Hillview community display.

At the beginning of the term we all created a house that told others about us.  We looked at the houses and talked about the clues that told us about each other.

Kayla made sure she included pictures of her dogs because  she loves  them she makes sure she looks after them. Well done Kayla, you spent a long time making sure your house was just right  and told us all about you.

The owl who was afraid of the dark

This term our topic is a novel study. We are reading the Owl who was afraid of the dark. So far we heave read one chapter. The first chapter was called ‘Dark is exciting’. Plop is the main character in the story and he is scared of the dark. In the story Plop met a boy who said that dark was exciting because of fireworks in the sky. This inspired us to make our own firework pictures. We did this by creating scratch art fireworks.  Kai said that all of the colors that came through were really beautiful.
