Incredible Invertebrates

 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...
