My Favourite Flowers

My favourite flowers are the tulip and  sunflowers because a tulip can be a lot of colours. You can eat the sunflower seeds and they taste nice. You can make soap with tulips and sunflowers and then your hands will smell very good, you should try it.

Pollen is a yellow powder inside flowers. The honey bees put the pollen in little bags on their legs. The Bees take the pollen back to their nest. They give pollen to the baby bees to eat too.

Blogging with Room 11

The other day we where blogging with Room11 and we were helping them learn how to blog. We helped them in the library and we used the iPads too. We used the iPads because we had to do Tellagami. Tellagami is like a project that you can create a person and record things. We use it in our class and talk about what is happening in our school. What do you do on an iPad?

Orienteering

At the end of last term we learned to follow maps and find the place we were going. We had a little practise first. Mrs Robinson handed each person in the group a map. On the  map it showed classes, fences, poles, gardens, trees, and the field. We had to orienteer around the school. You can use orienteering if your lost and use a map to find out where you are. We had so much fun and we learnt how to navigate and use a key. Have you ever tried orienteering?
