Term 2 Week 5

This week Maddison, Isla, Alecia, Liam, Max, Cade, Evie, Mella and Daniella all came to continue our investigation into the biodiversity of our school grounds and all the different types of living things we share our school grounds with...  

First we watched a clip on You Tube called Yucky Bugs Are Good For Us. If you click on the underlined title you will be to be taken to the clip...

Then we went bug hunting! Here is what we found:

 

First we discovered some moth cocoons hanging on this plant in the garden at the end of Room 9.

 Then we discovered a whole lot of worms and some centipedes (that were too fast for us to photograph) in the compost by the senior playground.

Cade found this spider in the manuka (tea) tree behind the senior playground.

And we found this tiny shiny blue-black beetle too!

We also spotted this amazing fungi growing on a tree stump over near the fence near the entrance by the kindy that we hadn't noticed before...

We had great fun bug hunting, now we just have to see if we can identify them! Next week we are going to see how many different types of birds we can spot if the weather is fine!
