Decomposer Scavenger Hunt

Grade 2 headed off to Heartland Forest for a field trip on Friday to check out God's Recycling Plan in action.    Thanks so much to the brave moms who were willing to go bug-hunting with us! 




Armed with clipboards, magnifying glasses, colour charts and shovels, students headed off to turn over rotting logs and search for decomposers like earthworms, spiders, ants, millipedes, slugs, moss and fungi.  We also spotted squirrels, salamanders and even a snake!









It was such a beautiful afternoon for a hike in the woods!   God's recycling plan in action brings new life from death.    Students have been learning this cheer:
Plants are producers
Animals consumers
Decomposers live on things dead
The cycle continues
From death there is life
Our God is a Hero of Hope - Hooray!
