S is for Spiny Leaf Insects

 I got this cute little insect to have in my classroom this year. This one is a female and quite happily hung out on my hand. They do have sharp little spikes, but these aren't painful until you try and move them. 

This is a baby spiny leaf insect.

S is for Shells

I was lucky enough to go on an excursion with 100 students to one of my favourite beaches, Semaphore Beach, in South Australia. Beautiful weather and gorgeous water.
