2. What we did
First we got numbered1-5. Then we got our net and went into the pond. Number 1 went and scooped up some creatures. The other people went and did the same. We had a spoon to search around to find small creatures which were hidden under weed. We had a bowl to put our fish in and a magnifying glass to have a look at the animals we caught.
