We got to enjoy a special show today. It was called Little Giants and was part of the Science Festival. Through this show we got to learn lots about honey bees which will help us with our topic on minibeasts. Did you know that honey is made from nectar that a bee carries in their stomach! We got to learn the waggle dance that bees do to show other bees where the good flowers are. We got to be bees in a special garden and had to use our sense of smell to work out each flower. There was strawberry, orange, rose and vanilla.

Research and presenting
We have been learning about minibeasts. On Tuesday we learnt about the life cycle of a butterfly. On Friday it was our turn to research the life cycle of another minibeast. We had to work in small groups to find the information using the internet and books. We then had to decide how to present the information to the class (say, write, make, do). The two choices groups went for were acting it out (do) and to create a poster (write). You can click on the links to see two of the videos.
