My Shell

I think my shell was found on a soft beach with yellow sand and salty water and a nice mango tree and a coconut tree with lovely milk. I think it had a journey from the South Island to Fiji.

Bees

 

What I found out: There is a flower called a honey suckle. In the inside of it there is pollen, The bees collect the pollen and make honey, but the beekeeper has to put the pollen in the comb. Bees make the honey.

We found that loads of bees are dying, and, if they die, then we will have no fruit or vegetables, like strawberries, oranges, apples and kiwifruit. Also vegetables like cucumber, tomatoes and also honey.

We are losing 6,000 bees a day and all of our good bees are dying in New Zealand because the vicious voroa mite is killing them.

I discovered that the littlest beekeeper is six years old.

Swimming Sports

Yesterday, our school had our swimming sports at the Ngaruawahia Town Pools.

The first race we did was freestyle. The Year 4, 5 and 6 children lined up under the green shade. Mr K said 8 year old girls and boys go and line up on the wall. I had butterflies but at the same time I was excited then I hopped in the pool. It was freezing.  Some people dived in. I  hit my arms up and down and the water was splashing behind me. I kicked my legs as fast as I could. I touched the wall 2nd.

Christmas

We had a BBQ. We had pavlova and chocolate strawberries and candy.

It was delicious and my favourites were the brandy snaps. For dinner, we had steak and sausages. It was delicious then we went inside.

We went to watch TV. My cousins and I listened to songs and then we went on the computer to watch the Ellen show.

Later on, we decorated the Christmas tree with lights and decorations.

My cousins and I practised our song and danced all night.
