Pollination about bees

        Pollination



Bees are important to humans because they are insects that we rely on to provide some of our foods like nuts, tomato, eggplant and more. Pollination is when pollen transfers to the male part called the stamen and then pollen moves to the woman part called the pistil where it fertilise.  They grow into seeds. 


Bees are fabulous pollinators because they have been gathering pollen most of their life and so far bees are the best pollinators out of birds, wind and water. Bees are hairy and pollens get stuck in their fur or wings and so when they pass by flowers or land on other flowers, they leave the pollens behind.


Some of bees species live in soil and make a nest in it, while some species live in plants, they drill a hole in plants stems or wood.
Did you know that if we didn't have bees, there will be no flowers and fruits we love to eat and also there will be no honey for our toasted bread?     By: Caitlyn

Digital learning


WALT: evaluate our digital learning  

Screenshot 2015-02-11 at 12.36.46 PM.png

In a digital classroom I learnt how to research information and published it in my own words in my Chromebook and I learnt to use different applications.

Mrs Cochrane helped with my learning by showing me different applications and helping me with my Google docs.
Miss Paton helped me by teaching me how to use my Chromebook.

My Chromebook helped me to be creative presenting my work using different apps.

I am pleased of my work and I am getting better in typing.

What I want to learn next time is all about animals.

What I enjoy most is to do science and maths.                                                                                                                                                                   
What so important about digital learning is that you can learn any time any place as long as you have WiFi.  

My psalm

My Psalm


Praise you O God …

You have given us life and justice

You have forgiven our sins
and
healed us when we were sick

You have cheered me up when I am sad
and
you are there when I am alone

Thank You Lord for my family
and
the community.
