As part of our environmental/integrated studies about water catchments and the water cycle, we went to Jerrabomberra Wetlands. When we got there we went for a walk. On the walk we had a stop at a log where lots of baby huntsman spiders live. Some of us even got to hold them! We also got to meet Tucker the turtle. We went into a hut and split into groups. We each got a big sample of water from the lake, and used droppers to get out little creatures. We put them into little tiny bowls and observed them. This told us about the water quality of the lake. When we were finished, we went for another walk and stopped at three places along the way. We drew what we saw and labelled our diagrams. We had lots of fun, and best of all… everybody learnt a lot about water catchments and the cycle of water!
