We were so lucky to have a visit from Biodiversity expert Dale Treadwell on Monday 25th March. Dale has appeared on several children's RTE nature programmes such as Kazoo and The Why Guy. He also worked with Dustin the turkey back in the day. He reminded us of the fragile nature of our eco systems.
Here we made a class food web based on the food chain and found out what happens when one part of the chain is damaged or wiped out eg if pesticides kill the insects, other species are detrimentally affected.
Looking at minibeasts-woodlouse, ladybird, centipede and millipede.
Dale planted new plants to attract insects and bees in our flower beds.
Bats and moths game: The "bat" had to locate the "moth" using only the sense of sound.
