Our Sustainable World

On the 20th of the 11th 09  5/6 went down to Pea Soup with Hamish, Kain, Kurt, Teo and Mitchell with a drop net and some hand nets to find crabs.  Our investigation question was What sex are the crabs? when we got there they went out on to the rock platform and out to the edge. Hamish threw the drop net out. We found lots of  dead crabs but there was nothing in the drop net. (but its was a great cool down!)

On Friday the 19th of November the whole of 5/6 D went to pea soup beach to look at the different species of animals there are at the beach. I was looking for starfishes with Cody and Angus. We were originally looking for starfishes but we couldn’t find any so we looked for crabs and we found some.

We went to pea soup  to find out where the most bait was. We didn’t find much but we found a few little clickers. Themost bait we found was about 20 meters out.

At pea soup my group found crabs with drop nets we got most of the crabs with the dead fish and one of our questions were what sex are the crabs most male crabs.  We looked at the v pattern on the bottom of the crab to work out its sex.

Last week our class went down to the beach to gather information for our class projects. We were collecting data on what is the most common thing found in rock pools. At the beach we found 27 crabs, 1 golf ball spongde, 6 sea worms and  32 nerite shells. We found out the most common thing found in rock pools are nerite shells.

Pea Soup Thursday 19th

At Pea Soup we searched the rock pools and found nothing.

We walked out to the back of the rock pools and found lots of sea urchin shells!

They were found down inbetween rocks.

There was no luck of finding any star fish but know they are here.

last thursday we went to pea soup and tryed to catch crabs but we dident catch many but i caught a star fish yay i loved it.

    On the 19th of  November, the whole grade of  5/6D went to the beach—pelsoup for a animal finsing, it helped us to know more about the sea animals live around the beach.

     First, we cached alot of crabs and then, when we picked up one of the big rocks and then me and my friend find a little black sea weed looking thing and we all got scared becouse we don’t know what it is, so we picked it up with another rock beside itin the end we get to knoe that it is a sea animal called flatwrom.

    Apart from crabs and flatwrom we find another dogshell and seaenenimies,we had a great time.

First of all we packed to go  down to the beach and we had to take some bate traps and a dip net. We looked under all the rocks for crabs but first we put  the bait traps in the water  and we left them there for about twenty minuets. At pea soup i found some crabs they weren’t alive how ever our group also found some shrimp, star fish and a sea urchin.
