I use to think that caddisfly larva lives forever.
But now I think that they live for one day.
Thanks for the interesting fact Amy. I was so amazed with this fact. Did you find a caddisfly larva in your water sample?

Hi Grade 2,
It sounds like you had a really exciting time on your excursion and learnt lots of important information. I have worked with compost before too and we had some unwelcome guests make their home inside. Mice! We put a layer of fine mesh wire on the bottom to keep them away.
We have our sports carnival tomorrow but Room 5 will definitely be interested to see what you have been learning about next week. Great work!

Thank you Room 5 Superstars. Our excursion helped us to think more deeply about endangered species and the Earth’s resources. Can you help us with our learning? Do you know of any endangered species in Western Australia, and why they have become endangered?
cheers
Ms Lockyer’s Class
Hi Ms Lockyer’s class,
Did you know the numbats are endangered animals from Western Australia? They are endangered because birds swoop down and attack them. They also lose their homes because of bulldozers clearing land and bush fires. You can find some information here http://www.perthzoo.wa.gov.au/animals-plants/australia/australian-bushwalk/numbat/.

Hello Hugo
Thank you for your very helpful comment. I am so glad it was about numbats, one of my favourite creatures from W.A. Have you ever been to the Dryanda Forest? They say this is the last natural habitat of the numbat. I have taken my class on school camp there. Are you surprised?!
cheers
Ms Lockyer
I used to think that bugs never lived in compost. But now I think that any bug can live in compost.From Isabella.
