We discovered some fascinating Freshwater Mini Beasts living in our local stream. Our finds included The Greater Water Boatman, The Lesser Water Boatman, Worms, Freshwater Snails, Shrimps, Leeches, Damselfly Larvae and a dangerous looking but harmless Water Scorpion.  Stephanie from the Heritage Council explained the life-cycles of these Freshwater Mini-Beasts and how unpolluted freshwater is vitally important as a habitat for these creatures. The children in the Junior Room were delighted to view and hear about our finds as the children from the Senior Room explained what they had discovered.
