We recently went on an excursion where the kids go
We recently went on an excursion where the kids got to look at plankton under the microscope, and they really enjoyed it. So today, for Biodiversity Day, we decided to recreate it at home.

We also chatted about biodiversity and all the things we could see while we collected the water. And then got a fright when we spotted a red-bellied black snake too, eek!

This was an activity from my weekly subscription this week. Who gave it a try? What did you find?
