Anyone for morning tea tomorrow?

Macroinvertebrates

Today Karen the Regional Waterwatch Coordinator
came to teach us about macroinvertebrates.
We used the testing kit to collect and identify the
macroinvertebrates found in our local waterway.
This information gives an indication of the health
of our waterway. We found a lot of quite sensitive
animals which was good. Well done everyone
you all worked really well and under the sea of
hats and heads there was a lot of discoveries
being made. Maybe we have a lot of budding
Scientists in our midst. 

Self Portraits

This week these students tried their hand at
drawing a self portrait. They looked at some
of Vincent Van Goghs efforts. They used
water colour pencils and washes. Although
they aren't finished they look terrific.

Wooden Pencil Cases

Thank you very much Maeve.

MPL Term 3 Projects

During Term 3 we studied Australia's Biomes.
Then we looked at endangered animals. For our
project we each choose an endangered animal
and researched all about it. Here are our
finished projects and dioramas. What a
fabulous job everyone did. Great work MPL.
