Summer Learning Journey|The Air Up There|Flying Fungi

This week for activity 3, day 2 of week 3 of Summer Learning Journey, we had to solve a tricky maths problem. The problem was if there was 7 different kind of mould and it took 5 days to clean it, how long would it take to remove all the mould. To solve this problem you multiply 7 and 5 which equals 35, so that means it takes 35 days to remove it.

Summer Learning Journey|The Air Up There|Bee Informed

This week for activity 1, day 2 of week 3 of Summer Learning Journey, we had to fill in blanks for five sentences about bees. We had to write the word, phrase or number in the blank space. I had to search the information on google to find the answer. I enjoyed filling in the blanks.



1. The word 'bumblebee' is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word 'bumble' means to hum, buzz, or drone.

2. Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour (km/h).

3. Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90 percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation.

4. Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do up to 50 times as much work as a normal honeybee.

5. The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factors, including the removal of wildflowers and flowering trees, habitat loss, and extensive use of pesticides.
