In Kuka Pod, our theme for the year is Submerged. We will be looking at various waterways and creatures over the year. In 3/4 Sackley we have been focussing on “The Creek”. We have been investigating the creatures that we find around a creek and the reasons that we think this might be the case. We have talked about how some creatures can be found in both fresh and salt water. We have also investigated and discussed why we think that some creatures can only live near one and not the other.

We found that there are lots of native mammals and birds that need access to our fresh waterways, such as creeks as a source of food and water. We had also found that some creatures need the creeks and waterways to have families, such as frogs. We are going to continue to investigate the creatures that live near each of our unique water sources, such as the ocean and ice and compare their needs and ways to survive.
