Journalist Sasha has been hard at work writing about what we’ve been doing. Some very interesting facts here, Sasha!
On Monday the 28th May, Room 6 went with Tracy to Rotary Park. Tracy taught us about a few animal HABITATS.
These are the animal habitats that we learnt about:
The Carnaby’s Cockatoo lives in large hollows of trees. They wander in flocks and feed on seeds, nectar and insect larvae.
The Water Rat nests in logs or tunnels in river banks. It feeds on small creatures and mussels.
The Phascogale lives in hollows of trees in woodlands. They forage in the tree canopy. They eat insects and small animals.
The Quenda lives in heaps of leaves and dense, scrubby plants. They dig in the ground for fungi and insects.
The Honey Possum feeds on nectar and pollen. They need shrubs with lots of flowers. They lives in tree hollows, birds nest and balga skirts.
The Ringtail Possum is found in peppermint trees. They live in tree tops and make homes in the canopy or hollows.
Room 6 also learnt a few facts about the animals:
-
Honey Possums need nectar to survive!
-
You can tell if a Quenda has been in your garden because its hole that it digs is a shape of a triangle.
-
A Phascogale taps on the bark of a tree when it is scared.
Thank you to Tracy for coming with us and I think everyone loved the visit to Rotary Park.
Did everyone enjoy the trip? 🙂
