Wetland Animals
/The Whales started the week by thinking about all the parts of the wetland ecosystem, and looking at photographs of our very own Fernhill Wetland. We noticed that a wetland has mud, water, powerful plants, trees, sky and clouds. We split into small groups and decided that we would create a wetland habitat in our classroom by painting a mural. We worked hard together, each of us taking on a specific part of the wetland ecosystem. When we were finished, we were amazing by how beautiful it was! The Whales agreed that all our ecosystem needs now are the pollinators, animals, birds and fish that make their home in the wetland.
We signed up for our favorite wetland animal and completed some pretty amazing research at home. Whales have been teachers this week, sharing all they know about their wetland animal. It’s been so fun to watch them share their knowledge so confidently with one another. Whales are becoming wetland experts!
