It was RSPB day so we decided to go down to Bousta Beach. We made food webs to learn about the rockpool ecosystem and learned about the tide with a clay cookie, an orange and a pickled onion.

by Liam, Finn and Simone.

As part of our learning on plants, animals and ecosystems, yesterday we were learning about the five kingdoms! We found out that these are:

• animals
• plants
• fungi
• prokaryotes
• protoctista.

Here are some things we found out:

Alisers – Fungi is the biggest in our ecosystem!

Liam – the prokaryote kingdom includes bacteria

Megan – Animals are one of the most complicated organisms

Sophie – Humans are included in the animal kingdom

Alice – Trees and plants make oxygen and feed themselves through photosynthesis

Vanja – The animal kingdom is full of different animal species

Eldars – Some animals help grass to grow by fertilising it

Finn – All the kingdoms make up an ecosystem

Simone – We went outside and around the school looking for organisims from the five kingdoms. We found plants, animals and fungi.

Can you guess which kingdom these are from??

A few weeks ago, Miss McIntyre woke up to find lots of frogs in her pond. They had laid lots of spawn which we have been enjoying having in class. We’ve been able to watch as the frogspawn has hatched into tadpoles and are looking forward to seeing them change into froglets!
