On the 25th of Aprill some of the Year threes went to Bellbird Dell. I was Sam's partner. We had to walk there which was a shame... When we arrived we did alot of walking until we found the 2 ponds. At our first pond Sam and I went to we found some little snails and microorganisms. The microorganisms were so small!!! In the pond there was alot of algae. Sadly we had to put what we found back..... We then moved to our second pond, there was also quite alot of algae. We found snails and microorganisms again but this time we found backswimmers!!! Well I was the one who found the backswimmers. Then we had to go back to school. We had to walk back again!!! We could have taken a bus!!!!!!!!!! When we got back to school it was recess. So we mainly spent about two hours at the Belbird Dell. {I think...} The day after you and your partner got to use this digital microscope to scan your bugs. Sam got a really good close-up photo of the backswimmer! When you looked at the whiteboard you could see a really cool close-up picture of one of the backswimmers!!! And that's about our trip to the Dell!!!
