Hot Air Balloon

Today the whole school and I went down to the field for a ride in the hot air balloon. The hot air balloon was called Wildfire and everyone was allowed to have a ride on it. The balloon was red, orange, yellow and there was a little word on the side. The hot air balloon was also very big. The hot air balloon sounded like flames. It also sounded like thunder.

Everyone lined up waiting for their turn.There was a squished penguin under the basket. Nearly everyone in the school went in the hot air balloon and some people looked excited and some people looked nervous. When some kids went in some of them were nervous and some of them were confident but they had a lot of fun. Some people held the ropes to keep the hot air balloon down. 

After it finished, they tried to get the hot air balloon down.

Honey Bees

What I found out: Bees put the nectar in the hexagon, then it dries up and wax goes all over it. The bees take the wax off and it has turned into honey.
