Kapahaka!!

Fantastic worm website!

As part of our homework this week, we have been asked to look for facts about WORMS! Here are some questions to help you find information!
Where do they live?
Why are they important?
What do they do?
How do they grow?
How big do they get?
How do they eat?

Find as much information as you can. You can write notes in your homework book to share with the class!

Have fun finding out about worms!

There is a really cool link to some information under our Inquiry links in the side bar!

Leaf Skeleton



Today Grace brought in a leaf skeleton she had found. It was really cool because it was so fragile and delicate.

Next week....Slugs! are they the same as snails??

Have a look at this amazing banana slug! (Thanks Room 11 for finding these fantastic videos!)

Today we watched how a snail eats!



We have been learning all about snails in class and their possible effect on our garden. We have learned that there are many kinds of snails and that not all of them are pests! We have learned that a snail is mostly a scavenger and eats dead animals and plants...although they can sometimes have a treat of fresh vegetables! This week we are writing up everything we have learned about snails in a report. We will publish these on our blog so that you can see all the fantastic information we have!
