Cambooya State School

Year 6 at Cambooya has been studying the importance of bees this semester as part of the Hermitage Science Competition.

Recently the students were able to spend some time at a local backyard which has two bee hives.

The students were given a talk about the important job of bees and lots of information about how a hive works and the life of bees.

The highlight of the visit was being able to harvest some honey from the beehive and taste it from different stages of the production of honey in the hive.

Students were also able to dress up in the equipment required to safely take honey from a hive.

Thank you to Mrs L for hosting us and sharing her immense knowledge with us.

As part of their study into bees, Cambooya State School students (below) were able to visit a beehive (right) in a local backyard.

Last week, Wyreema State School Prep to Year 3 students participated in the 2023 National Simultaneous Storytime. National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is a nationwide event that takes place annually on the fourth Wednesday of May.

The event is organised by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) to promote the value of reading and literacy.

This year, students at Wyreema came together with over two million other students nationwide, to listen to a reading of the book “The Speedy Sloth”, from award-winning author Rebecca Young.

Students thoroughly enjoyed this delightful story about a sloth who is determined to be the fastest animal in the jungle.
