Last Week of Term1

Great to have George from D.O.C. and our LEARNZ field trip visit the class on Thursday. I think he enjoyed seeing what we were doing and where our wetlands topic has taken us since he answered our questions at the audio conference back in February.
  1. Can you remember what he told us about the ducks teeth?
  2. What about feathers on duck legs?
  3. Why do ducks have bright coloured feathers?

Good News!!

Russell got the cat that we found when Moa hunting. It has a bad case of lead poisoning. However he is still excited about our trap as it may catch the next cat before it kills any of his birds.
