On Monday we went to room 15 for Immersion. In room 15 we learnt about pest control. The lovely miss Spencer explained what we would be doing for our lesson. We learnt about all of the different kinds of pest in our world such as: Possums, Rats, Stokes etc.
After a few minutes of learning about pest we went out to the bottom court. There we played a game called Possum picnic and the aim of the game was to physically show us how Possums kill our trees. Learning about pest control made me realise that scientist are working so hard and that our trees should be getting looked after properly.
Then we learnt about Possum traps and how they worked. Miss Spencer had gone out to her local supermarket and had brought a Possum trap. So we went out to the bottom field and set it off. When we were setting up our Possum trap Miss Spencer explained to us how it works. On the front of the Possum trap I saw a sign saying "Keep fingers clear". When Bernadette pulled the string up to set it we knew it was ready, so Miss Spencer kicked it and it went bang.
Pests are not only cute and fury animals but they are also deadly. Pest are the reason why our native trees are being damaged and are in danger. Most pest are originally from overseas, when they travelled to our beautiful country in big ship, they brought them here on their ships. I think Pests are no good for our environment.
