Death Cycle


On Wednesday, the 2nd of May, Room 16 drove to the Botanic Gardens on a bendy bus to learn about nature’s recycling. First we had morning tea under the huge covered courtyard with really fat birds. After that, two educators took us through a cold, dark bush walk. We had to pick a green, yellow and brown or skeleton leaf and put them in a line. The educators told us about the death cycle and that leaves have mould on them. Each year the leaves are not piling over us because of the F.B.I. That stands for fungi, bacteria and invertebrates. The invertebrates go chew, chew, chew, poo, poo, poo and the fungi and bacteria go rot, rot, rot and turn the leaves into soil.
