Today Year Three investigated the invertebrates that live in our compost. We began our lesson by listening to a song about compost at Sunnyhills made by the Year 5's using AI: Compost Heroes
We carefully sifted through the compost samples and checked of the bugs we found against an identification sheet.
Theo "We saw a springtail. It's like a rolly polly but it's tiny and white"
Elijah "I saw a red worm".
Leo "I saw a millipede. It looks like a centipede but skinnier and you can't see its legs"
Jaxon "I saw centepede. It was long and had lots of legs"
Logan "I saw a pill bug"
Jasper "I saw a mite"
Theo "I saw a slater"
We wanted to find our more about slaters.
Archer thinks they are related to dinosaurs.
How do they get their shell? What is their life cycle? Theo
Valentin "What do they eat?"
How do they digest their food? Logan
We sketched a Slater / roly poly. Then researched the questions.
Room 7 wanted to investigate leopard slugs. We wondered how they move, what they eat and if they are good for the compost.We sketched a spotty slugs then recorded facts. Did you know they are helpful in the garden, can grow 20cm long and can live for 3 years?
Lastly it was Room 18's turn. They want to focus their research on
