Our Learning Journey

We are learning about minibeasts in our classroom this term. We are investigating the features, habitat and how they can help us.
We now know heaps about bees!
  • they have 6 legs
  • they have wings
  • they have compound eyes
  • only the feamle bees have a stingeer
  • each hive has one Queen Bee that lays the eggs
  • in summer there can be over 20,000 bees in one hive
  • in winter the female bees kick the male bees out of the hive because they don't have enough food
  • male bees are lazy
  • female bees collect nectar
  • the female bees flap their wings to make the hive
During this week we are finding out about earthworms. We can't wait to share what we learn about these minibeasts! Stay posted.
