Waterwatch Wetland Birds





On Monday 3/4A and 3/4B went on a Healthy Waterways Waterwatch excursion and it was so tiring,we had to walk 6 kilometres.

We went to a place called Koonung Creek Wetlands at 1:30pm and when we got there the Melbourne Water lady, Julie gave 3/4A and 3/4B different activities.

34/A first did bird watching and 3/4B did the food race. After some time we swapped activities so 3/4A did the food race and 3/4B did bird watching. I saw an Ibis, Yellow Beaked Swamphen and lots of other ducks. I also saw a duck couple in the river.

I learnt that birds migrate over 1000 kilometres. Birds eat worms and seeds.

I thought the Water-Watch excursion was really fun.

Wow! This water project sounds really great fun, and you are so lucky to have these experts to teach your class all these different things.

Keep learning all you can about water and keeping our environment safe - as you know, it's VERY important!

I think it was very hard to find the birds because they all looked the same, so you didn't know whether you were couting one twice!
