Why Does A Bee Sting

If a bee feels provoked it gets alarmed and stings that person.

The bee’s stinger is a fine sharp barbed tube. if a bee stings it injects a drop of poison into your skin. Stinging is the job of a worker bee.


The bee only stings once but when the bee stings the person usually knock the bee away.
This prevents the bee from pulling the stinger naturally.

A bee can sting as often as we allow it, if we do not whack them away from their stinger.

A bee can sting as many times it is often, if we do not whack them away.

Starry Starry Night

Starry Starry By Frankie

Starry Starry Night

 

Starry Starry Night is one of the famous painting he and painted out of his painting he painted it in 1889 before Vincent Van Gogh had died.


The main colour in this picture is the colour blue. But there are bright yellow contrasts  in the village lights. As you could see in the background it is mainly light, but in the foreground there is a  gloomy cypress tree and the dark village with the light yellow for the house windows.

The objects that stand out for me is the cypress tree and other thing that stand out for me is  the bright light  moon.   

Vincent Van Gogh

Do you know who is Vincent Van Gogh?

Well I know a little bit of him because I've been learning about Vincent Van Gogh for the last few 2 weeks at school.  

Well He wanted a job like being a teacher and he tried to be a art dealer. But then he didn’t get the job. After he did some art work he wanted to be a artist.  

He painted himself portrait, starry starry night, sunflower and Starry Night Over the Rhone.
One day he was sad that why he cut off his ear.

I like this painting.

Frankie Holiday

I had I exciting holiday at my brother house?.

We went over to my rugby game the next day. We went over to my mums house and I got ready for the game. When I got ready we went into the car and we went to my rugby game when I got there some of the team mates  was or ready there. They were doing some fitness to get warm and ready for the game to start. The other team was or ready there practising for the game. The game started my team and their team went on the field.

At the end we won the game the score was 43 to us and they had 17 we went back home it was exciting at my rugby game when we went home I went in to the seller when I finish me and my brother went back to his house it was fun at the game.

Frankie VinCent Van Gogh Sunflower

The wonderfull painting of Vincent Van Gogh’s is called Sunflowers.The size of Vincent Van Gogh’s  Sunflower  painting is about 73x92cm.It was painted  in 1888.

The painting he used for his colours were  brown, yellow, orange and a little bit of black. Why he used these colours because he wanted to decorate  Paul Gauguin room with hes pictures that he painted and put it up on the wall.

What I felt about Vincent Van Gogh sunflower painting was the light bright colours like yellow orange, brown and a little bit of black. When I look at the colour yellow it represents happiness.
What I don’t like about it is when he was making the srokes and the bump it the painting .

I think Vincent Van Gogh wasn’t happy when he painted his sunflower. When he had painted   some of it was half dead there was some dead too.

Maud Island Frogs

Maud island frogs eat larvae , worms , beetle , and other insect. They pounce on it prey and scoops it in it mouth with it small hands.

Maud Island frogs live on Maud Island, in the Marlborough Sounds. They live in damp places, up the steep hills in the bushes. They hide under rocks and logs,and above the waters In the trees.

They don’t have web feet like the others. This frogs is different to the others this frog it is a new zealand frog. That don’t live in water like the others this frogs live on damp places.

Maud Island frogs predators are lizard. But the main problem is the disease that the rats brought on maud island.
