Unbee-lievable Facts about Bumblebees
  • The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to drone.
  • Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour (km/h).
  • Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90 percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation.

Activity 2  Week Three Day Two(4 Points)
Success Criteria: On your blog, list all of the foods that you don't like to put in your special draining sink.
Some foods I would like to put into my special draining sink that I don't like are egg shells, tomato, cucumber, pineapple, celery ,sliced pumpkin,parsnips and radish.

Activity 3 Week Three Day Two (10 Points)
Success Criteria:Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?
On your blog, tell us how you would solve this tricky maths problem. Be sure to also post your final answer in days or weeks.


To figure this out the cleaner said it would take 5 days for one of the moulds to get removed. To work this maths problem out from here you go, since it said 5 days for 1 mould it would be another 5 for 2 moulds which equals 10 days for 2 moulds. You then go up in the 5 times tables like shown below. Once you get to the end your answer should be it taken 35 days (5 weeks) for 7 moulds to get removed from the classroom.

  1. Hi Jennae!

    Well done for completing this task! Bumblebees are very important to our ecosystems. I like how you highlight the answers! This makes it very clear! My only advice would be to go back and check the answer to the first question.

    These are an interesting list of foods, although are egg shells food? I have never seen anyone try to eat egg shells haha. I love Pineapple and cucumbers. BUT I HATE celery! I can even tell if my roommates sneak it into a smoothie with heaps of yummy fruits.


    It’s great to see you smashing through these activities!
    Well done on answering this tricky maths questions. You are absolutely right! I think an easy way to answer this question is also going up in 5s!
    When I was in school I loved those maths games! They were great for practising your times tables. I loved playing mathletics! It was an awesome quick pace game, you were able to verse heaps of people from all over the place. What math games do you like to play?

    Keep up the great work!
    He Whetu Koe! (You’re a star!)
