Hunting for the invertebrates

Hunting for the invertebrates

My friends and I were in class listening to Lauren and Michelle. Then Lauren showed us were looking where Duck Creek came from. Duck Creek came from a tarn that’s a small pond on a mountain.

First: The teachers sorted us in groups there were 4 groups. The teachers were Miss Hinchliff, Marion, Jane, Katrina. Lauren and Michelle gave us a kick net and plastic containers with the kick net. You kick in front of it, that’s why it’s a kick net. With the plastic containers you put in the water then you take it out of the water.

In summary, me and my friends went to Duck Creek, we didn’t just look in the water we looked in the water weeds too.

Did you know that poo and wee are nutrients for the grass and plants? We can plant trees, bushes, flax, grass and flowers.

You have to build a fence around the river’s or creek’s so animals and rubbish can’t get in. If you don’t have trees and plants and build a fence all the nasties get in the creek or river. The roots stop erosion from getting in the river.
