This
term Room 15 has been learning about some plants and insects that are special
to us.
Here is a sample of our writing. We wrote about the creepy crawly weta, the loud noisy cicadas and the magnificent sunflower.
The
weta looks a bit scary don’t you think?
They are special because they are the biggest insect creatures in the
world. They look like a spider and
they have long long legs like a spider too. There’s one thing that spiders don’t have: antennas. Tia
A
giant weta is creepy and special.
They come out at night.
Cats and rats and hedgehogs eat them. Save the weta because they are good. Hussein
The
cicadas stick on trees. They have
stick legs. They have sticky stuff
on them. Cicadas are black and
green and they make lots of noise.
They don’t live in the water they live in a tree. Cicadas don’t stop making lots of
noises. They live underground for
three years. Esther
We found a live cicada.
Katrina and Masi found a live cicada nymph emerging from it's burrow.
My dad and mum and sister and baby brother, and me, go for a walk along the
river. We pick up all the litter people throw around. Aniisa
The
sunflower is special for the bees to get pollen. The bees get the pollen from the sunflower and the bees make
honey for people to make good food.

The
sunflower is beautiful. It is
yellow and gold. It has beautiful
petals. Clarabell
