- The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to hum, buzz, or drone
- Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour (km/h).
- Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 50 percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation.
- Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do up to 90 times as much work as a normal honeybee.
- The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factors, including the removal of wildflowers and flowering trees

answer this math problem ill post answer in like 2 days
Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?
Good morning Jackson,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing another set of activities for Summer Learning Journey. Did you enjoy reading about bumblebees on the NZ Bumblebee Conservation Trust website? I think you have become a bee expert - what was the most interesting fact you've found out about this insect? Are you scared of bees at all?
I can't believe you've mentioned some of my favourite food to put in your draining sink! Can I ask you the opposite now and see what your TOP 5 is? Let me know what you LOVE to eat and maybe we'll have something in common from that list :)
I'll keep an eye out for the final maths question! Maybe you could have a go at solving this question in two different ways.
Looking forward to hearing back from you,
Susie
Tena koe Jackson,
ReplyDeleteKa pai on completing another Summer Learning Journey blog post!
I love Bumblebees, I think they are so cool. When I lived in Perth in Australia, they don't have any there and I really missed having them around. I am a bit scared of honey bees however bumblebees don't really scare me at all for some reason, maybe it's because they look a bit fluffy.
Jackson, you are going to put some of my favourite foods down the sink! I love tomatoes, olives and cucumber! You are missing out my friend. Do you like tomato sauce even though you don't like tomatoes?
I look forward to seeing your completed maths question, just let me know if you need any help at all. I also look forward to seeing some more Summer Learning Journey posts from you soon.
Until next time, happy blogging. :)
