Learning in Rooms 18, 19 and 23 In Rooms 18 and 19 we are a part of the Playford 1 0 project, all students are creating a care package for nurses in our local area.

In Rooms 18, 19 and 23 we have been learning about Bees. We have set up some bee hotels around the school. We are investigating how much activity we will see at each of the bee hotels. We have a bee hotel near the gym, the nature play area and the garden. We asked that people only look and don’t touch. Thank you for your support.

We have been looking at the different bee hives, and how bees operate within a hive
