Learning Intentions for Science We are learning to understand that all living creatures have a life cycle. We are learning that living creatures have bodies that are designed to help them to live and survive.   We are learning that all living things are designed to live in a particular environment. We are learning to understand how food webs work. We are learning that in an ecosystem all living things and their environment are interconnected. We are learning to understand about the Rocky Shore and the impact, both positive and negative, we can have on this environment.

Literacy As part of our rocky shore unit we will also use our literacy skills to read and learn about the rocky shore and to write an information report on a rocky shore creature. Writing We are learning to write an information report about an animal. We are learning to use our writing skills across the curriculum.

Rocky Shore

On a hot Monday morning the bell rung and suddenly we ran to the class, ready for the rocky shore. Don and Lauren from D.O.C. were there ready to teach us about the rocky shore . We saw skeletons  of Seals and other marine creatures and we learnt how the tides work.

Ater the talk, we went to our car groups and went out to 14 Mile. I was traveling with Cathy. When we got there we got out of the car and we had a talk about the rubbish on the beach.Then we went over to the rock pools and started to eat lunch. We walked along the beach  with the beautiful sound of the waves crashing on the rocks!

After I ate loads of popcorn, we got into our groups and looked for creatures to tick off on our worksheets. We found a common tipple fin and loads of Reef stars. After that  we started our booklets. We had a rock pool we had to work at. We filled our sheets out (our sheets were about collecting data and measuring the temperature of the rock pools) then went exploring. We had to be careful not to fall in the rock pools and not to step on the creatures. In one rock we were working at we saw a Cling fish that was there the whole time. We tried to catch it but it was too fast! Clingfish are very good at camouflaging and can change colour very fast.

Then we walked back to the cars picking up rubbish on the way. In the end it was great fun and I would love to do it again.
