Pompeii

Last week I went to see the Pompeii exhibit at the museum. We couldn't take photos, but I drew some pictures about what I saw.

Nature Study 2

We looked at the front garden, but we weren't allowed to talk. I had to see, feel and hear what I could and then I wrote down some things.

One word for what I heard - birds
Two words for what I saw - wasps and insects eating leaves
Three words for what I felt - web brushing against me, aphids they were rough like a flew with big lumps on it and insects bites on the big tree.

I drew a picture of one of the flowers in the garden and put some leaves in my nature journal.

Nature Study 1

We went to the creek. I was trying to catch a frog and fell in the water. Photobucket
At the end I tried to catch a lizard.

I saw a family of lizards, birds and trees. I captured a leech and I captured it because I thought it was a type of fish.

We looked up about leeches and here's some information we found.
Leeches
Leeches are blood sucking parasites. There are over 600 types of leeches and their bodies are divided into 34 segments. The Australian land leech has two jaws, but most leeches have three jaws.
