Where is moth plant & how does it spread?

We walked around the school to look for plants that didn't belong. We played with swan plant seed pods to investigate how moth plants spread.
Room 12  What did you see on our walk?
Olivia - we saw how the moth plant spreads by looking at the swan plant seed flying
Indigo - the seeds spread with the wind
Zoe - they have a little parachute things and they float
Nadiv - we saw naughty plants killing the trees.  They were climbing all over them.
Claire - the moth plant has long vines
Zoe - they have green pods
Alvin - The moth plants pods have lots of seeds
Claire - they have white flowers
Gyana - the white stuff is poisonous
Georgia - the white stuff is sap

What did you learn from our research?
Georgia - You can kill it by pulling it out or you can scrap and use some poisonous stuff
Indigo - if they vines are to long you have to dig them out and hang them up so they don’t go back in the ground
Nadiv - i’ve got a moth plant growing on my fence
Zoe - you can tell it’s a moth plant vine because the leaves are facing each other not up and down.
