Maths problem

Walt: go back through a tidy ten to solve subtraction problems.

Here is the maths problem I am working on in my maths book.

How it works is when you have to minus some numbers, you could use this example like
If it was 45-6, you have to write 45-5, so you could get 40, so then you used 5 of your 6 and so that means you have 1 left. Next you have to minus 40-1. This is how it looks like
45-5=
45-5=40
40-1=39

Have you use this maths strategy before?

How honey is made

Walt: write a explaining piece of writing.

How honey is made

Did you know that Honey bees must gather nectar from two million flowers to make one pound of honey?

Bees have two stomachs, when they collect nectar they store it in one of their stomach and the other stomach is for when they eat food. They usually collect nectar in spring because that’s when most flowers bloom and that means more pollum, and they use their proboscis to suck all the nectar out of the flowers and when their honey stomach is full of pollum, they go back to their hive. 

When the bees go back to their hive, all the worker bees chew on the pollum and pass it on to another worker bee until the nectar is sticky, when it’s sticky the bees put the pollum in a honeycomb and then use their wings to dry the honey and then sealed it with a wax lid. 

Next the bee keepers go and collect the honey from the hives and prepare it to sell in stores around the world.

I really enjoyed writing how bees make honey. I learnt a lot about bees and did you know that New Zealand is the only country in the world to have Manuka honey?
