I enjoyed the agriculture presentation and learning about insects. The presenters name was Jenny Ellert. I learned that some insects can harm farmer’s fields. She taught us why we should spray the fields and why sometimes we should not spray fields. I learned that all bugs are not harmful.  In fact, some are helpful.  The agriculture presenter gave us a candy bag and a colouring book.   I thought that was very kind of her.

A lady named Jenny Ellert came to the Grade 4 class and talked about insects and spiders. I had never seen so many dried insects that she brought in.  Jenny showed us some diferent bugs on the Smartboard.  She told us that some bugs help the plants grow and other bugs destroy the plants.  She even showed us some bugs on thin sticks. 

My favourite part was where we got to see the bugs in the case she brought in.  I have never seen some of those bugs, but some I did see.  She told us what the bugs were called and what they do to the plants.  Jenny works on a farm and sprays the fields if they need it.  If it doesn’t need to be sprayed and she has gone all the way around the field, she can go home.  I really enjoyed the presentation.

Our class had a presenter named Jenny Ellert come in from a farm and tell us about what bugs can do to plants. We learned that there are beneficial bugs and just bugs that are pests! Also we learned that Ladybugs are actually Lady Beetles! We learned that  even flies can help plants grow! Jenny Ellert also brought a large case of bugs so we could see  the bugs . 🙂 We also learned the if you see a bug in your crops you shouldn’t spray your crops because it can also kill the benificial bugs.  Here are some pictures of what we saw.

Yesterday a lady name Jenny Ellert came to our class and talked about insects. She even brought a glass box of insects and she gave us candy. She was talking about wheat, crops and  how a lot of  bad insects were eating the roots. We even learned Ladybugs are not called Ladybugs they are called Lady Beetles. She even gave us a book to write in.

Did you know not all bugs are bad?   Some bugs are good to crops and other bugs ruin crops. The good bugs are good because they protect the crops from getting ruined by the bad bugs.  Farmer’s fields have the most bugs. If the farmer sees one bad bug, it doesn’t mean they have to spray.  If farmer sprays the field it will kill the good bugs too.   However, if there is a big problem with bad bugs the farmer will have to spray the field!!!!! Did you know that a Lady Bug is actually called a Lady Beetle?   Isn’t that cool!!!!  The presenter, Jenny Ellert, showed us a big box of bugs.  I really enjoyed it!!!!
