Mould spores are everywhere in the environment but when the conditions are right they will reproduce and spread. Mould helps to break down dead plant and animal matter […]
The year fives are learning about animal adaptations and how these adaptations help them to survive in their different habitats. In particular, we are learning about the adaptations of Australian plants and animals that live in the harsh conditions of our deserts. Approximately half of Australia is covered in desert environments. Plants and animals that […]
