Cycle Of Life

Last week, Nathan’s Mum Marisa bought along some sea monkeys to school.  It works in perfectly with our work on the cycle of life!  On Friday we prepared the water with a special conditioner.  We left it over the weekend. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today we added the special sea monkey eggs to the water we prepared on Friday.  The eggs are enclosed in some crystals.  We  placed the sea monkeys in a warm and well lit place.  We are all excited to see what will happen!  It could take up to 7 days for the eggs to hatch in the water.  Stay tuned!

How many days do you think it will take?  Will the sea monkeys change their appearance?

Learning About Life In A Pond Habitat!

Posted on by

Today all the Year 2 children went to a pond habitat to learn about the creatures and how their environment is important for their survival.
We all collected mini beasts from the pond with our nets and then looked at them under a microscope. It was amazing! We saw bloodworms, backswimmers, water fleas, dragonfly nymphs and spiders.

It was so much fun making frog noises too.  Jess our guide told us that there are over 300 species of frogs.  At the Sanctuary, the rangers provide special places for frogs to hide and live.  We were very lucky to see a tiny frog.  Jess told us never to handle a frog as any chemicals or soaps on our hands can make it sick.

Take a look at what we got up to.  Have you ever been to a pond?  What did you see?
