Netty - from the Wetlands Centre - talked to us about pond life
we all had a go at fishing for pond life
we looked...
...and caught loads of creatures
we had to put the creatures in the container quickly
water snails and leeches...
we identified what we had caught on a sheet of paper
we looked at them in more detail
inspected them closely
it was fascinating, especially the blood-sucking leeches
it's a good job it was sunny
we passed the watery creatures round the class
and scrutinised them
... thoroughly...
reeds act as filters for dirt in ponds
we shot plastic balls (dirt) into the reeds
and the reeds gobbled the dirt up
there was a flood (shower head) over a water plain
we diverted flood water as it fell from the mountains into the village
we squirted water into the wetlands and made animals appear
we looked at where water comes from
and how water is used (wasted?) on the earth
