The Scarecrow Festival

On Sunday the band and I did a performance at Dunston Scarecrow festival and we had to dress up as scarecrows, so we all looked really funny!
And some of the scarecrows around the village looked great, my favourite was the Strictly Come Dancing one! When we got home we were thinking about what we would do and I said I would make a Harry Potter on his broomstick, what would you do?

How To Help Bees !

1. Plant More Flowers - You could start planting more flowers in your garden.

2. Don't Dig Up Your Hedge - Leave your hedge alone. the bees love it.

3. Leave Some Land Alone - If you own a field, garden or any piece of land you could let some of it or all of it grow wild.

4. Be careful Were You Spray Insecticides - If you spray insecticide near a hive, on flower/plant or on a bee you could really harm or kill the it.

5. Buy And Support Your Local Honey Or Beekeeper - If you support you beekeeper he or she will be able to help or keep more bees.

Save The Bees

Why are bees so important?

Bees not only make us wonderful honey,but they also pollinate flowers,trees and some of the foods we eat, so if they were to become extinct not only would we not have any honey we would have less trees, flowers and food like -apples,beans,blackcurrants,cucumber,onions and loads more!

Why Are Our Bees Dying ?

1. Diseases - Because bees live in hives, if one bee becomes ill there is no-where he or she can go,without infecting the other bees that live in the hive.

2. Varroe Mite - The varroe mite sucks blood out of bees and as it does this it passes on a virus to the bee.

3. Insecticides - Insecticide is used to kill insects and could harm bees if used incorrectly.

4. Changing Weather - Because of the wet summers we have been having plants and flowers have been growing at different times than they normally do, so bees can't get the nectar they need to stay alive.

5. Not enough hedges and flowers.- People are planting less and less flowers,digging up hedges and turning fields full of wild flowers into fields full of animals or crops.

So why don't we all go and do something to SAVE OUR BEES!

Film Report

Anne Franks Diary

What was it about? - A young girl called Anne and her family had to go in to hiding because the Nazis were taking all the Jaws to concentration camps, while the Franks are there they are joined by the Van Pels family and fritx pefeffer.After two years the families were found,no one knows know tolled on them or why they did, but in the end only one person survived and that was Anne's Dad Otto Frank.

Was the storyline good? -Yes. I think the way they tolled the story was very good.

Was the acting good? - Again yes, Ellie Kendrick ( who played Anne) was very good and when you look at Anne and Ellie they both look very alike and the other actors was great. For a complete list of who plays who go to - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Frank_(BBC_television_serial)


My thoughts on what happened to Anne Frank -
I think it is very sad that people had to go in to hiding because they did not believe or look like Hitler wanted them to. Anne and her family were in hiding for 2 years, when Anne and her sister Margo died there father Otto Frank had been out of the Auschwitz concentration camp for 6 weeks. I have not yet read the book,is it good?
