Year 4 Homework
Date set: 16.06.2017
Reading:
Please write in your reading
diary when you have read. You will have been allocated a Bug Club book to read
at home, which will be different to the one that you are reading in school.
Check with your teacher if you are not sure which one is which. Don’t forget to
answer the ‘bugs’- look out for them on each page! Please don’t “close” the
book until all the bugs have been answered.
Maths
(20mins):
This week we have been
practising converting between different units of measure and solving word
problems involving measure and money. You have been set work on Mathletics to
help you to practise this.
Please also
practise your times tables and division facts up to 12x12.
Science:
In Science we have been
investigating habitats. For your homework this week we would like you to find
out about bees’ habitats and try to answer the questions. There is a link to a
website on your class blog to help you to get started. Read the information
carefully and do some further research of your own if you can, then answer the
questions below on the blog. Remember to answer in full sentences and read your
work carefully before you post.
What is happening to the
bees?
Why are they so
important?
How can we help them?
What could we put in our
garden to encourage more bees?
Spellings (20mins)
These should be practised for
a short time each day, using the words given in sentences.
You need to:
• look at each word
• say the word
• copy the word in first
space
• cover the words and try to
write it from memory
• check to see if they are
right
Over the next few weeks, we
will be revising words from the National Curriculum spelling list for Year 3 and
4. As these are words that you all need to know, there will only be one
spelling list.

Bees
ReplyDeleteWhat is happening to bees?
Bees are becoming ENDANGERED animals thanks to us. When we plant bad plants, have a bbq, smoke or use anything that can pollute the air it harms bees. Their breathing is low and once they sting something, because they are scared or frightened, they lose their sting and die. They also don’t have water and food that much in deserted places.
Why are bees so important?
Bees are important because they give us honey and pollinate our food which is good for us. They pollinate our food and crops to increase them which means we have more to eat, drink and use. They also eat nectar and pollen from plants and trees which means people with hayfeaver have less people who have it.
How can we help bees?
We can help bees by planting bee friendly plants, buying organic food, don’t use chemicals and poisonous gases, eat raw honey and to leave a little bit of water and food otherwise they will die of hunger and thirst.
What could we put in our garden to encourage more bees?
We could put more plants and water pots to help and encourage bees to come to your garden so they don’t die.
This is very interesting
DeleteTo help them we can clear more space for the bees so that they have more space to live in, also we can help them by planting more flowers spraying less on the plants so that we can keep them alive and study co-authored by a University of Guelph scientist that involved fitting bumblebees with tiny radio frequency tags shows long-term exposure to a neonicotinoid pesticide hampers bees’ ability to forage for pollen.the bees are important to us because they give us the food and honey neonicotinoid. They are important to us because they help us plant more food so that we can live. We can encourage more bees by planting more flowers and STOP killing them.
ReplyDeleteBEES are insects that are realy good for us.why because they make honey and food for us.If you wonder how do they make the honey well they collect pollen and nectar.BEES are from the apidae family.so people should stop killing THEM.The people should stop killing the bees because honey is healthy for you.FACT did you know that bees can live 155 years.
ReplyDeleteBees are important flying creatures because they help to provide the food that we eat like vegtables fruit by polonating plants.We could put them in a stronger house were no one can destroy it.Mabey we could make a little hive whith honey in it to put in are garden so they could provide our food.

ReplyDeleteWhy are Bees so important?
Lots of different foods like fruits and vegetables are pollinated by Bees. Bees do not only help to make honey but they also help foods like broccoli, squash, apples, and lots more food crops. They are important to the Earth because many crops need pollination to grow. Bees are great Pollinators as they pollinate 70 of 100 plant species and 90% of those crops feed the world.
What is happening to Bees?
Sadly, Bees population is going down because Humans are cutting lots of trees down and bees usually nest their colonies in trees also pollution is killing lots of bees.
How can you help?
You can help by walking instead of using your car whenever you can also by building colonies, growing trees, helping the environment and recycling.
What can we put in our gardens to encourage Bees to live in our gardens?
We can grow flowers, build Colonies and little huts for Bees this will encourage Bees to live in your gardens also you could find more about them by watching them.
Bees pollinate a third of everything we eat and play a vital role in sustaining the planet’s ecosystems. Some 84% of the crops grown for human consumption – around 400 different types of plants – need bees and other insects to pollinate them to increase their yields and quality.ees are losing habitat all around the world due to intensive monoculture-based farming practices, pristine green (but flower-barren) sprawling suburban lawns and from the destruction of native landscapes.
ReplyDeleteThere are 9 different families of bees and around 20,000 known species.
ReplyDeleteSome common types of 'social' hive inhabiting bees include the Honey bee, The Africanized Honeybee, (or 'killer bee') and the Bumble bee.
'Solitary' bees that make their own single nest include the Carpenter Bee, Leafcutter bee, Mason bee, Digger Bee and Mining Bee.
The every day bee that we associate with most is the honey bee (or honeybee). There are 7 species of honey bee and 44 subspecies.
Honey bees live as large colonies in honeycomb structures built from beeswax called hives. There are 3 types of bees in a colony, drones, workers, and queens.
Beeswax comes from abdomen glands of a worker bee, they use the wax to form the walls and caps of the comb.
Honey is made from the nectar and sweet deposits that bees collect from plants and trees. Honey is stored in honeycomb as a food source for the colony.
Bees have a long proboscis (type of tongue) that helps them to get the nectar out of flowers, they collect pollen in pollen baskets on their body.
Worker bees are female, they collect pollen and nectar to feed the colony, they clean the hive, make the honey, take care of the offspring and groom / feed the queen. Worker bees live from 1 month in summer up to 9 months over winter.
Drones are male, their one job is to mate with the queen, they live for 40 - 50 days.
The queen bee's only job is to lay eggs, they lay up to 1,500 eggs a day. The queen can live for 2 - 5 years, and lay about 1 million eggs over her lifetime.
Bees have two pairs of wings, the larger fore wings and the smaller hind wings.
The smallest bee is a type of stingless worker bee that's about 2.1 mm long. The largest bee is a type of leafcutter bee whose females can reach 39 mm.
There are over 250 known species of bumble bee.
Only the queen bumblebee survives the winter, so there's no need for bumblebees to store large quantities of honey in the hive like honey bees do.
There are over 100,000 species of wasp. Two common types of wasp are the yellowjacket wasp and the hornet.
Most wasp species are 'parasitic' which means they use the venom from their stings to paralyze pray and lay their eggs within the host, so larvae will hatch.
Wasps can build their nests in a variety of places but they usually pick sunny areas, in holes underground along riverbanks, or attached to the side of walls and trees, or underneath floors, wasp can be agitated and dangerous near nests.
A bee's buzz is not produced by the beating of its wings but by vibrating muscles.
Only female bees (queen and worker bees) can sting. A honey bee can only sting once, as barbs rip the stinger out of the bee and it will die. Bumblebee's and wasps stingers don't have barbs, so they can sting multiple times without injury.
A bees habitatis where there are lots flowers #nature.
why are we talking about bees?
ReplyDeleteBees are really important!
Bees helps to provide lot food that you eat- and they are talking about honey.Bees help your fruits and vegetables by flying around and pollinating plants.
what's the difference between types of bees?
There are three types of bees they are called honey bees, solidarity bees
and bumble bees.
Brilliant facts about bees!
Some bees visit 2000 flowers every single days.
Honey bees can remember there landscape so they won't forget.
they are getting extinct
ReplyDeleteas they make crops grow
by making a wooden bee hive
planting more flowers
Bees
ReplyDeleteWhy are they so important?
They are kept in hives and they are in high places like trees and flowers also fruits. They give us nectar and then this becomes honey. They are Yellow and black and also big.
