The Bee Bots

 The Bee Bots

Today my friend Zoe and I had to do something with this robot, it's called a bee bot. In Zoe's and my reading roupu we read the story The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Then Zoe and I decided to work together on the bee bots and the story. So Zoe and I grabbed these sheets, we had to draw pictures of the main characters and the main places. 

Then it was time to put the pictures in this grid and we put all the pictures around the grid. It was time for the bee bot to shine. The bee bot looks like a bee and it has some buttons, there is one button to go forward one button to go to the left one button to go to the right and one button to go backwards. Then in the middle there is a button that says go. On the left side there is a X button and on the right side there is pause button.

Then we pressed a forward button then a side button and we had to make it to the end of the story. The amazing thing is that it worked! The story went in order for the bee bot. It was so fun getting to use the bee bot. These are what the bee bots look like.  

The Adventure Of the Tairawhiti Enviro Centre

Tairawhiti Enviro Centre

Honu and room 1 went to the Tairawhiti Environment Centre. We learnt about all of the the waste going into the landfill, and how we can stop some of the rubbish going into it. We also learnt about compost and worm farms and food. 

We were put into groups and we learnt that a lot of the time people from grocery shops just throw away the food, because it's about to be expired but it's actually fine.

We learnt about the 6 R's which is reuse, refuse, recycle, rethink, reduce and repair.Reuse it can be made into something else to extend its life, like an old table. Refuse is when you chose not to use items, such as plastic bags. Recycle is when you use materials that can be broken down and made into something else after its been used, like glass or fizzy cans. Rethink is when you think if you actually need it or do you just want it. Reduce is when you reduce the amount of the materials that used, such as paper bags and not plastic. Repair is when you fix the parts that

can be replaced easily instead of just throwing it all away.

 Then we learnt about the compost and I learnt that you have to put layers and it is like lasagna. You have to put brown then green then brown then green. We learnt about the worm farms and what we can put in it and what we can't. It was really fun.

That was my amazing trip to the Tairawhiti Enviro Centre!! 👍
