Collaging Google Drawing

We have been learning to make a collage on Google Drawing. We had to use
the explore, mask and arrange tools to get our collage to come together. We
had to make a NZ bird and put it into its habitat. It was a lot of fun and I am
really pleased with my bird. Have you ever had a go at this?
I made it purple 'cause it looks cool.

Toki Film Festival 2019

                              Toki Film Festival 2019        

Many Schools Entered for the Film Festival: Karoro School, Kaniere School,
Paroa School, Grey Main School, Blaketown School, Paparoa School, Kumara
School, Awahono School, Lake Brunner School and St Patrick’s School.

The storyline was about ‘our place’ and what it is. They were all pretty much
about Greymouth. There was only one where the filmmakers talked about what
we need to do for the West Coast.

The editing on everyone’s videos was pretty bad because they were all made on
free softwares like i-Movie and WeVideo. The Sound wasn’t very good in any
one of them and the wind made it all blurry. The Music was overlapping the
voice’s as well on most of them. The music was good but it cut some of the
voices out.The cut scenes were good especially with slow motion parts.
The watermark on the WeVideo ones wasn’t that big of a deal but it would of
been nice if they had edited it out.

Next Year I think in each school they should let the students decide and vote
for which film gets entered in. There should also be  junior and senior groups.

Bee Hives

What Are Bee Hives For?

Bees make their hives to store food and shelter the bees. Bees make their
hives to protect them. The bees store anything from eggs, to pollen, to honey.
When the bee hive is getting built by the bees, the bees produce beeswax
to create a strong and hard interior of the beehive. They use the beeswax
to make these perfect little hexagon shapes in the hive. They store the food
and eggs in them. These are called honeycombs.

 Jobs Inside The Hive

The three main types of bees are the worker bee, drone bee and the queen bee. When the queen lays an egg she can either lay a fertilized egg or an unfertilized egg. A fertilized egg hatches into a worker bee or queen bee, while an unfertilized egg will hatch into a drone bee. A worker bee is only female and they have all the jobs to do from collecting nectar, producing honey, keeping the hive clean, guarding the hive and making wax. For every 100 worker bees there are, there is a drone bee. Unlike the female worker bees, drones do not have stingers and gather neither nectar nor pollen. The drone bees primary job is to mate with a queen bee. After mating season the drone bee gets kicked out of the hive. The drone either dies of starvation or freezes. The queen bee is the most important bee of them all and only has one job, she produces new bees. Without the queen bee or a drone the whole hive would die out. 

Our report will:

• Bee interesting!
• Give information about a topic of our choice related to bees.
• Show a clear link to our planning.
• Start with an opening statement about our topic.
• Have at least 3 paragraphs.  Each paragraph will have an opening statement and a
• series of facts related to that statement.
• Include some complex or compound sentence structures.
• Include at least one diagram, photograph, illustration or map to go with the text.
• Finish with a general statement about the topic.
• Use information from at least 3 different sources.  This information will be written in our
• own words and we will write down our sources at the end of our report.

Bee an Expert

Bees are very important to the planet. Like how they can pollinate flowers and give us honey. Pollination is when the bee collects nectar by digging into the flower, but at the same time, the pollen sticks onto their skin like velcro from the male part.  The nectar then gets put into their crop. The crop is the special nectar storage of the bee. When the bees travel to another flower the pollen then rubs off on the female part to make more seeds. Then when the crop is full of nectar the bee then travels back to the hive to make honey. This is all important because without bees a lot of plants would die because there is nothing to help the pollen travel to make seeds.
