More student reflections on the emerging project

 I have been a critical friend because when I was critiquing other people's work I made sure I gave specific advice and kept my advice friendly so that it didn't hurt people's feelings.

- This project is important because we need to know whether we are providing a good enviroment for bees and if they will be able to live in these conditions for much longer. It is important to me because I quite like wildlife and bees provide us with honey for food. It is important to the bees because they might not live much longer if we keep our enviroment the way it is and we might be able to change the enviroment a bit so they will live on. It is important to the wider community because even though I don't like honey myself, lots of people do and the bees provide us with that.

- The hardest bit so far was making sure you didn't get the bees mixed up or got confused over which shape the flowers were that you had seen because if you got that wrong you would be letting down the whole class by providing them with incorrect data.

This half term in science the project we are doing is based on the Cramlington. At the start of this experiment we had to take in everything about bees in our area, this included the flower species they prefer, the number of them we actually saw and the range of flower colours we could find. However, all of this would be completely irrelevant   if the project did not have a main aim to focus on.

 Although, there will be a range of aims to observe throughout the topic not to mention a main one that the whole class will be focusing on I think I may have my individual aim. My aim which I would like to have completed at the end of the topic is based on what to do with knowledge. Therefore; my individual aim for the end of the unit is to have gathered enough knowledge on the local bee population to the figure out how to increase the bee population of Cramlington.

Despite aims and key focuses this project is very important as the research that took place in it may eventually help the bee population in the surrounding area. It will do this by educating people on the importance of the bees in Cramlington and what ways we can stop ourselves destroying their environment.

Early Student reflections

I have been a critical friend because i have been enthusiastic and confident whilst doing the work. The topic is important to me because it shows us that bees are important and that we should save them and their habitats. We can dk this by not using lots of pesticides. It is helpful to the bees because it gives them a better chance to go onto flowers and pollinate without getting a disease or even dying. It can also help the community because they will have more bees to look at in your garden but also it can provide the community with honey. I found nothing difficult during the lesson so I have nothing to improve or overcome.

I have been a critical friend by giving feedback to other groups.

The project is important to me because it is giving me ways to bee a better learner.
The project is important to bees because it is telling us if we need to do more in our area to help them.
It is also important to the wider community because it shows where we can help bees so that the crops are fruitful.
I have found working as a team difficult and we have overcome that by stopping and talking about what we should write.

1. I have been a critical friend. I was helping Jamie what he should put in the method. 2.This project is important because bees need nectar from flowers, and make the flowers grow and plants help us breathe. 3.I don't know if we found it difficult
