Hot Air Balloon

In the morning, on Friday, our class went to the field to go in the hot air balloon. The balloon was called Wildfire. It was red, orange and yellow and it was huge like a red, orange and yellow giant. The big cane basket was brown.
We lined up for a turn. We all got a turn. First Mrs Thomson went up in the sky in the hot air balloon.  Our whole school got a turn then I had yummy warm pancakes and a hot  chocolate. It was nice. Charlotte, Quinn and I went on the playground and played on the spider web.  We could still see the bright colourful hot air balloon from the very top. 
It was fun until the bell rang.

Honey Bees

What I found out: The bees go to 100 flowers. They have two stomachs - a honey stomach and a regular stomach. They collect the nectar and pollen. They put the nectar into their honey stomachs. They fly back to the hive. They pass it onto another bee. The other bee chews the nectar for about half an hour. They spread the watery nectar into the honeycombs, then it gets thicker and drier. It becomes honey.
