In a literacy group, we looked at our skin and some leaves up close, then wrote descriptions about each. We were amazed to see that tiny freckles show up on the computer screen like a big bruise!
As part of our Think It Friday work on Spies today, some of us chose to work with Ms Udy to investigate objects with the microscope and write, draw or talk about them. Some amazing discussions have been had!

Below: Ms Udy's mix of dark and blonde hairs. We all thought it was really funny that Ms Udy has lots of different colours in her hair!
Quite a few of us asked Ms Udy how we could get a microscope like this one. Luckily, we found out that the school has a few of them in the science store room, so we'll be able to use them again. In case any parents are interested, here is a link to the kind we used: Zoomy Digital Microscope
