Science - What Insects Exist in our Garden?

During Science today, we watched a short DVD about what insects exist in the garden. We got to go outside and explore a garden anywhere in our school and draw a map of it and mark the insects that we found.

It was fun working outside! Some of us found slugs, centipedes, spiders, worms and ants. Inverness and Sarah discovered an earwig living in the trunk of a tree. Ngapera and Kallisto showed us a centipede hiding under a rock.  Hirini, Billy and Taniela found slugs living in Room One's compost bin.

Taaria, Kadison and Teina saw a walking stick in the bushes outside the staffroom. Ngati and Nivolo found a worm by the library and remembered not to pick it up with their hands because the acid on our skin can harm worms.
