The Year 1 students have been immersing themselves in our invertebrate unit. Our trip to Seaford Beach was very successful and the data that we collected will be used by The Baykeeper to monitor the health of Port Phillip Bay. Both classes enjoyed macro invertebrate hunting on Friday in our lake where we found several different types of these tiny creatures.
Book Week (or rather fortnight) is coming. There will be a lot happening that week, including a book character parade and family lantern night so please check the Parent Notices for details.
For Weeks 5 and 6 Show and Share we would like the children to select an invertebrate (it can be the one that they shared in the previous weeks) and present its food chain to the class. As an added challenge they can also investigate if their invertebrate has any other connections to animals that are not food chain related e.g. Hermit crabs place sea anemones on their shell to protect them from predators and sea anemones eat the left over food that the crab doesn't eat.
