Kea's Bee Zone

At the end of our literacy unit "Emily's Bees" we have created a "Bee Zone" near the orchard.  From our unit we have learned many facts about bees - like did you know they have 5 eyes?

We wrote letters to Mr Wheeler asking if we could plant in the orchard area as this is out of bounds and no one would go standing on our plants.  We wanted the plants to be away from the playground so no one got stung by the female bees.  Then we wrote to shops that sell plants.  This Bee Zone has plants that were donated to us from Lushingtons and The Warehouse.  

During our planting session we learned many skills like how to prepare a hole for the plant and how to get the plant out of the container.  We loaned the watering cans from Room 7 to give our new plants a welcome to your new home drink.
