This term the year 3-6 students are spending time in the garden finding out what INCREDIBLE INVERTEBRATES we share the space with!
We brainstormed what we already knew (quite a lot) and jotted down what we wanted to find out...
* WHO are the bugs living in our garden and how many of them are there?
* HOW are animals grouped?
* HOW do bugs help us? (Ayla)
* WHY did some bugs come to New Zealand? (Ashlee)
* WHAT was the first bug ever on Earth? (Tyler)
We learnt:
- Spiders are NOT insects!
- Invertebrates is the science name for the big group that all our garden 'bugs' belong to.
- Without insects the planet would not be very healthy
- We have lots of different creatures in our compost...
