10.01.2022 The students in KB have been finding cicada shells around the school and asked questions about where they come from - as scientists do! So, they did some research and watched some video clips. KB learned that a cicada lives underground for 17 years before coming out, sheds their shell and has wings underneath. Today KB went on a hunt, found their shells and the holes in the ground. They were given points for each shell they found, counting them by twos and fives. The students took the shells home to show their families!

It is posted as an unlisted video on YouTube, so this link is required to be able to view it as it is not viewable by the public. I think you’ll agree that they are great learners and future scientists (and maybe movie stars!!) ... Well done 1/2S! https://youtu.be/jGS4mRfaZbc
