Welcome back!!!
In support of your work on your nature badge, we are once again using our blog to explore our world and share our thoughts and experiences. Join, comment, and even post your own content and photo's here on our blog.
This month, our blog explores the
variety of plants and animals we find in nature, our Great Barrier Reef,
and an amazing animal, (not to be found in Australian waters) the Giant
Octopus. We also learn about food
chains, and look at an introduced pest and it’s impact on Australia. We look at habitats including our own
backyards, and learn more about plants and animals. Enjoy!
