After morning tea, we went into the class were a Botanical Gardens teacher, Caroline, talked to us about what insects are and how to 'classify' or group them. We thought this was very interesting and we had lots of questions.
After we grouped some insects, because we learnt there are thousands in the world, we went out into the bush to dig for insects. We were equipped with magnifying glasses, plastic spoons for digging, little paint brushes to delicately put the insects into the containers and off we went. We were in the bush for about 10 minutes then came back into the class to look at them under the big microscope.
This was very interesting.
After this it was time to leave. We had such a fun time at the Botanical Gardens and were quite tired on our way home.
Another hard day at work!
We had a great time on our trip to the Botanical Gardens.

It was a great day. I especially enjoyed looking for the Creepy Crawlies in the garden.
