What do YOU know about tidal pools?

                                                                                                                                                                           Last week we began an inquiry study of the beach. We started with the question - What animals and plants live in the tidal pools of our coastal beach? 

Mrs. Betts gave us a QR code to help us quickly access a website that showed many different tide pool creatures, and we used the pictures and information to help us draw various creatures that live on the beach or in tide pools. 
The website we used to help us find information about the beach!
After we had done some reading we began drawing and colouring different animals and plants and then we added them to our tide pool mural. We even added a few sea gulls!  We look forward to learning more about these creatures in the coming weeks, and hopefully finding a few of them at the beach on our upcoming field trip!

Using our iPads to find information on animals that live in the tide pools!


Taking notes !
Here we are using our iPads to find information about animals and plants that live in tidal pools!

Have you seen any of these creatures at the beach?
