The Day of the Bee Swarm

Yesterday we found out that there was a bee swarm opposite Charlie's house. Charlie's Mum helped to transport the school up to the spot to have a look.
What a sight... and just when we are asking questions and finding out all about bees. Only last Friday we had read a book called Nana's in the Plum Tree which was all about a bee swarm.

Six thousand bees are swarming on the  wooden post.

Marcel is looking for the Queen Bee. He found her!

Marcel is shaking the swarm into the bees' new home.

We were lucky to see a bee swarm

Taieri Schools Cross Country 2014

We are ready to race!

I thought the cross country was hard because there was a big puddle at the bottom of the hill. I slipped over in the mud.

I felt excited about running the Cross Country because I had practised a lot. I was glad it wasnt cancelled.

I am finishing my Cross Country run with a big happy smile and with Mrs Lunn keeping me company. I enjoyed the Cross Country very much this year.

 I ran around the muddy track. I tried to run as fast as I could. It was a cold day.

I had fun at Cross Country . I finished my run and then I was allowed to have a nice hot sausage in bread with tomato sauce.
