Wetlands Visit

We are so lucky to have two really good journalists.  Thanks, Mitchell, for this report on our Wetlands excursion with Tracey. 🙂

On Tuesday 13th September the Year 3s visited the Margaret River Wetlands with Tracey Muir from the Cape-to-Cape Catchment Group.  The purpose of the visit was to investigate the macroinvertebrates that live there.  They collected samples and were able to closely examine the individual tiny creatures.

Tracey also told them what habitats the macroinvertebrates use to keep themselves safe, such as:

• Logs and trees
• Rocks by the shore
• Pits in the sand at the bottom of the water

Other creatures that they found while collecting samples included tadpoles, fish, spiders and various insects.  This showed that the wetlands is home to many more creatures than just macroinvertebrates, so it must be a healthy environment for animals to live in.

The Year 3s thoroughly enjoyed the trip and it was another very educational visit hosted by Tracey.
