Today has been a blast of busy investigation, finding us exploring our school environment for all sorts.
First, we searched for things that are living, that used to be alive, and have never lived:
How about plastic? See what you think… 
Eva considers an apple. Is it alive? Dead? Could it be alive again? 
Yes, Josh, we agree that’s never lived. But… what’s that green stuff? 
Reuben proudly strikes his best hunter-gatherer pose. 
We even brought in some of our living finds to interrogate and observe in class. Can you see this slug’s ‘nose’?
Things got a little up close and personal with living things in Mrs Little’s room: one of the larger arachnids in the area decided he needed to change micro-habitat. Translation: 3CL was invaded by a large, hairy spider! Another welcome attraction on the visualiser!
After break, we went out again, this time looking at the micro-habitats around school…
Isaac and Isla consider where or not this is a desert micro-habitat. What do you think? 
Matilda and Theo search under a log… 
… and find new friends! 
The rush to the water micro-habitat. 
If we found this next to the pond, does that make this a pond snail, Charlotte? 
Karter explores the leaf litter nearby. 
Ada carefully observes 
April shows that you can even have MICRO-micro-habitats. Can you see the fungus on the underside of this bark? 
Can you spot the pond spider?
A great day of fun, outdoor learning, and scientific knowledge!
