Dioramas

We have been working so hard finishing our dioramas of our habitats.  We have written reports about our habitats. Make sure you check out our individual blogs to see all of our wok.

Mustelids!

Incase you haven't heard already, our poor chicks that we incubated were put outside because they were stinking up the classroom,  were killed. :(

We have endeavoured on a journey to find out what killed our pets. We have done some research and think that it is probably something from the mustelid family. Our research can be found in the post below. We also discovered that these pests are wreaking havoc to our native bird population and have been doing a lot of reading about pests and our wildlife in class.


Yesterday, Nathan bought in some ink tracks from Gotcha Traps Ltd. We put them out with different baits.

Peanut butter lure

banana and honey lure

ink tunnel

tinfoil attracts stoats

chicken lure

When we checked the tracks this morning we were a bit disappointed with only finding one print. Hopefully we lure more in tonight. Here is the track:

See if you can figure out what left this track with the guide below:
