Why Does a Bee Sting?

Bees only rarely sting, if it has been provoked. They basically have a bee rule it is only use this wepon (that nature has provided) if we are trying to kill them. So it is just self defence.

The bee's stinger is a sharp fine barb,this injects a drop of poison through a tube. Did you know it's only the worker bees that stings ?

You may have heard that a bee can only sting once well that is false. What normally happens is that the victim of the bee knocks it of tearing the stinger , this injures the bee soo badly that it dies. But if you care about the bee you will carefully pull the stinger out of yourself.

So it is true abee can stay alive after it stings, if we dont pull it away from the bees body.

Ancient Olympic Chariot Racing

Did you know chariot racing was the most popular sports in the Ancient Greek Olympics? It was a very dangerous sport, and it was often it was just to show of soldiers' strength. Most of the time they competed in the hippo drome.

The hippodrome was a semi circle.In Greek words hippo ment horse and dromo ment race or course.The hippodrome was similar to the  Roman Circus.

Isara's Swimming Lessons

“Woo Hoo Were going swimming get you togs everybody” I shouted . I was soo excited that I just wanted to sprint down the street.But unfortunately we had to be sensible and walk.


Entering the pools the smell of chlorine hit my nose faster than a bullet . We ran to the changing room got changed and we were out in a zoom.


Our first activity was a test to tell what group we were in.I got put in group 3 which is the highest one.jumping into the pool I was so pleased.


My favorite thing about that day was getting to know that I was in the highest group.Most of the people in that group were girls but me and my friend wyatt were the only boys.


The next day was all about kicking and breathing . Guess what I swam 3 quarters of the big pool without breathing. I think I was the best at holding my breath.


I like swimming because I always come out happy. Next time I am going to try swim the whole pool without breathing.

Isara's Holiday

What did you do in your holidays ? Well I went to my cousins birthday to celebrate 2920 days of his life. He suggested I go Rock-Climbing with two of his friends.

Arriving In the car park we noticed that all the parks were full and that we had to park on the road. I jumped out and stretched and said “YAY” .I trotted towards the huge building that said Rock Climbing, I was looking forward to this.

Entering through these huge doors I was stunned to see  the structures that people climb, and some of them go upside down. I went to the counter, strapped  on my harness and sprinted to the wall. They hooked me up and I was off.


Touching the top of the wall I shouted “hooray” and as slow as a snail I let go and slid back down. Touching the ground I rubbed it in my cousin's face but when he tried he did it just as fast as me.

“Ok its time for dinner” My aunty shouted we raced to the bathroom washed our hands.Guess how many pizzas my uncle ordered ? Eight whole pizzas for nine people that's nearly 1 pizza each.


We packed up and went back home with one pizza each. I hope he invites me to his ninth birthday.

Best Camp Ever

Year 5 and six camp was the bomb ! There were millions of activities and you would never be bored .What makes it even better was that I was a leader.


My favourite activity was top teams challenge, not only because we won, I was one of the people who helped others who kind of struggled.That's what made it so fun.


One incident that was really hilarious, was when we were out kayaking. Some people without doubt, did not know how to do this. There were monstrous crashes and some people even managed to tip their kayak over ,and I don’t think that Mr Burt was very impressed about it.



My goal for the year five and six camp was to be a really good leader and come up with a fantastic dance.So I really worked hard on that and I think I achieved that goal.I thought that I was a good team leader and I recon that our dance was awesome because everyone was cheering for us.


Now that camp is over I am so bored.I am really looking forward to going to Kawau Island at the end of the year.
