Honey bees

Today we learnt about how honey was made. If you don’t know then let me tell you.

Honey is sugar which mainly consists of fructose and glucose made by honeybees living in large groups also called colonies. These workers will work with other bees and go out of their hive and collect pollen with their mouth also known as a proboscis fun fact. Did you know that it takes more than 5000 bees just to get one kg of honey.

 

First, the honey bee will collect pollen and put it in its honey stomach. Fun fact: did you know that bees have two stomachs? I just found out.

 

Next, they will return and a worker bee will come and then the worker bee will vomit the pollen out into the other bees mouth. This process will proceed until they arrive at the wax comb and then all the bees will vomit the nectar out into the comb and wait.

 

 

Then, they will huddle together and flap their wings until the sugar water has dissolved and then the process will proceed until the whole hive is filled with honey.

 

Finally, the honey has to wait for a few months to be ready and safe to eat if the honey is harvested then put into jars and sold to the market or the bees keep the honey for a certain amount of time.

 

I would like to know more about honey so if you know can you please tell me thank you !

My horror story

I was all alone out of town in a weird  dark damp neighbourhood. The locals were very rude but the hotel there was nice. They only had one rule: keep the lights on, but I didn’t listen. I turned the light off and after watching a horror movie I heard a scream so I sprung out of bed and looked out the window but nothing was there but then I felt something it was a hand slowly sending shivers  up my back I jumped around the hotel room and tried to beat whatever it was up but when I opened my eyes there was nothing except for a cold room and the tv on maybe I was just paranoid so I just turned on the lights and went to sleep to leave in the morning. 

 

First, I woke up to a clink! In my closet I didn’t think anything of it because they warned me of falling things in my closet because of the air conditioning, but I went to sleep and woke up at five o’clock in the morning and seen a creepy women on the side of me watching me sleep so I sprung out of bed and kicked her ugly teeth in.

 

Next, I went into the lobby and she kept on chasing me so I needed to start running faster so I put my shoes on, grabbed my stuff and ran to my car.

 

Then, I hopped in my  car and started to drive and she pretended to be a kid and started crying. I stopped and she stared into my eyes and black stuff was coming out of her mouth, and that creeped me out so I sped away and was on the motorway


After that I saw that nobody was on the motorway and that was weird because “usually there is a bunch of traffic’’ I said to myself, but then a car tried to cut me off but they missed and crashed and I drove off the motorway. 

 

Finally, I arrived home and everything was fine. I was wondering if I was okay, and I was so I just went to sleep. I woke up just to find out it wasn’t a dream and that she was following me but that’s when it hit me I turned on the lamp not the light switch so I drove back and went back to that room the lamp was still on but the switch wasn’t so I switched it on and everything was back to normal the evil ghost stopped following me but before I left I asked the workers why I needed to keep the light on and they replied with “ Because in 1947 a women called Catherine was murdered by a man called Clementine.

There was still scary things happening around there town but the problems always got solved by someone in there town I don’t know who but they keep on sending me messages that creep me out but I don’t care I just ignore then and go on with my day but whoever keeps on sending me letters just saying your next. 

 

Keeping Yourself Safe Online

Hi this is my foot print and it is pretty safe we should keep ourselves safe while online and not be on sites that you shouldn’t be on. But what is a digital footprint? Digital footprints are important to keep safe because that is private and you could be traced by bad people that could make a footprint on your reputation and how people think of you but genuinely should keep yourselves safe online.

Today I got my duffy book and it’s called Anh do hot dog tidy time.

 

This book is about a guy named  hot dog and his friends who tidy up for their annual tidy your town day. Whoever collects the most rubbish will win an amazing jungle adventure but their rubbish they collected got stolen and are searching for it. Will they find it in time before time runs out?

 

Believing myself

Sometimes when you don’t believe in yourself  or don’t feel brave, but sometimes you need to really need to be brave like me and a story that has happened to me to know what happened keep reading.

 

So, one time I went up north for my grandma’s unveiling and at the time it was summer and everyone was hot so we went to the beach.  When we were at the beach all the adults made the little kids put on floaties but I didn’t want to because I knew how to swim and I was playing in the water with my siblings and my cousins and we were trying to jump over the waves but then an arm came and grabbed me and I was drowning but it was my cousin and we were drowning but I was trying to pull us back to the sand but my cousin pulled me down but my aunty came and growled her so now we are careful when swimming.

Musical Noises

 

                                                                                Music is so amazing!

 

Today there was a man called musical ell that came over and showed us a few of his instruments like clarinets, flutes and many more. Like with rocks tape and a  toilet roll .

 

First, he sang a song and asked if we could sing with him so we did and it was so funny when some of the kids went up and made funny faces and when they were standing like a duck.

 

Next, He told a few of the seniors to hold some instruments that were called woodwind instruments in the olden days.and there were many more instruments that he told them to play.

 

Then he asked room 10 and 9 who wanted to play so I put my hand up. Once we had a good amount of people to come up we played a song and then sat down.

 

Finally he showed us how he would play at a junction and sang a song after playing his trumpet and trombone for us.

 

After that I wanted to be a musician and play all night long, But  I wonder if there are any more instruments that I haven’t heard or seen before. What is your favourite instrument?

Hockey monday

 

                                 

Yesterday we went to hockey and It was so much fun dribbling the ball and playing the game.

 

First, the coach introduced himself as Jake and said that we were going to do a warm up.

 

Next,we were doing our warm up, then we were all racing trying to win and I wanted to get water so I ran quickly.

 

Then when I came back we were learning how to dribble the ball and I was partnered with my friends Kalisi and Bekah but then my friend Louis was crying because My friend Skylar hit her in the eye with the hockey stick by accident.

 

Finally,we had our last activity and then we discussed our favourite thing that we did and we left.

 

After that we had to go because it was raining but I still enjoyed it I like hockey it’s fun and I hope to learn new things next time.
