Wonderful Wetlands

wow, who knew that a brown pond could be such an important environment that supported so much life. Our trip to the Urrbrae Wetlands was a real eye opener. We discovered all sorts of mini beasts living at the bottom of the pond, they were so small we had to look at them through microscopes which was very tricky! We also went fishing with Phil our guide and for those of you that are fisherman, I'm sure you'll be impressed with the Pirie Room catch, 15 fish in 15 minutes!.... and they were thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis big!! We learned about the importance of reeds and bull rushes and how they clean the water like toothbrushes clean teeth! Thank you to all the parents who joined us, without you it wouldn't have been possible.Scraping the bottoma scientist at work our fish!!
