Novel Studies

For the rest of the term for reading, we are doing novel studies. My reading group is reading The Wind Singer by William Nicholson. Our first activity for novel studies is to look at the front and back covers and inside the sleeves and predict what the story is about. This is my prediction.

Water quality

I wonder if the creek is healthy.

I think…

That the creek is pretty stabil in my opinion.

I think that the creek is healthy just by the way it looked and all the
healthy animals that were in the creek.

How did you do.

We did good and we had a good look at the creek and its bugs that
live there. We looked for the clarity and timed how long it took for
an orange to get from the top of the creek to the bottom. We also
looked at the size of rocks and what percentage of the creek floor
was rocks or sediment.

What did you use.

We used a bucket that had tape at the bottom so that you could see
through.

We used a barthascope which is oathing that you look into
and it has mirrors so that you can put it under the water and
you can see underwater.

What did you find out.

We found a lot of things like how the bugs survive under rocks
and under the gravel. We also found out that there isn’t a lot of
rubbish in there.

It was really fun down at the creek and if we could do all of the activities it would have been even more fun.
