Trip to Cidade das Abelhas!

Dear parents,

The trip to Cidade das Abelhas was an amazing experience for everyone!

We could learn all about bees: different types of bees, how they are organised, how long they live and how important they are for the human existence on Earth. Yes, we learned that if bees become extinct humans would last for only 5 more years in the planet before going extinct as well. Pollination is the key; and that is done by the bees is the world.

We also saw the bee hives on site! (Did not get too close though, obvious reasons…) We kept a safe distance, but we could see a real bee hive from inside through a glass! We could also check the inside of a bee, its organs and structure, walking through a giant model. Amazing!

And the honey… We could taste their honey.. Yummy!

Towards the end of our trip, we had some time in the play area to have some fun and enjoy the fresh air of the Atlantic rainforest.

Overall, It was a great trip!

Student are taking home a booklet with information about Cidade das Abelhas and a free return ticket for them to go visit it again with their family. Enjoy!

Dear Parents,

As we are entering our last week of our unit of inquiry, we will be synthesising and reflecting on what we have learned from the Central Idea (Ongoing exploration leads to discovery and further understanding). We will be reviewing some of our earlier thinking, identify changes in our understanding, making connections between ideas, and identifying what we have learned.

This is a short week, so we will not be sending any Language homework until next Monday. Maths homework will be sent on Friday as usual. Kindly review the note below about how maths homework is differentiated for each student:
