BEES – Term 2

Our Year 0-3 classrooms have been focusing on the natural world as part of our Inquiry this term.  We have explored what makes something a living thing and enjoyed investigating the basic needs that all living creatures share.  

The tamariki loved their visit from Mrs. Black who is a local beekeeper.  She taught us about the different roles that bees have within the hive, how bees help us, and in return, how we can help them!

To finish off our natural world inquiry, we had Richard from Taranaki Enviroschools come along and make beeswax wraps with us.  This was lots of fun and now we have a sustainable way to bring our lunch to school!
