Pond Dipping and bug hunt CCC

Both groups went Pond dipping and a bug hunt at Rouken Glen. They discovered a whole new world exists below the water as well as beside it. Some of the children used then knowledge they had learned from tree shaking and applied this to the reeds and plants surrounding the pond. They used identification sheets to identify the insects and plants that they found. Ranger Katy showed them some birds and mammals that might rely on the insects and plants they discovered for their survival and we created some food chains using the plants, insects, birds and mammals that we had learned about.
