Hello there. Nasheem,Shaojie and Àlex Varela writing today!
More news in the school pond. Birds keep coming to drink from the pond,which is hilarious!
We have just seen two pigeons!
Despite this, the pond is drying out. The question being whether we must add more water...what do you think?
Plants continue growing healthily meaning that the pond is contributing to biodiversity. Mission accomplished!
We are "creating life".
Adding to this, some days ago we saw some libellula larvae but we couldn't find it today.
About tadpoles,they are getting bigger and bigger. See picture below.
In a few weeks it's probable that they die, unable to continue their metamorphosis process. So keep observing them as you can!
Now, we are going to plant some decorative plants all around the pond to make it look beautiful.
Spring is in the air!
pigeons: coloms
drying out: assecant-se
larvae: larves
tadpoles: capgrossos
metamorphosis: metamorfosis

ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI (David) and my friend Buba read the blog, it is interesting. But I have a question, last year in the ponds there were many tigers mosquitoes breeding.
Don't you think that many mosquitoes around the school could be a problem?
Looking forward for your answer.
Hello David and Buba.
DeleteWhat a brilliant question! Thanks for your concerns.
You are absolutely right. Mosquitoes tend to breed around ponds, in places where there is water. In our case, we have tadpoles and birds that come to drink from the pond so we are hoping that these animals will eat the mosquito larvae if there is any.
At the moment we haven't seen many mosquitoes around so let's see...
Hello there! I've just read the new entrance, and it's so cool that here in the pond is some thype of life, I think that you could put some water because with this heat the water evaporate faster, so great blog.

Hello Marc!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your message!
We are ever so pleased that you find it interesting.Thank you for reading!
We have decided not to interfere too much with the natural cycles of the pond. So we have considered that we will leave the rain to fill it up.
Maybe in the summer we will have to rethink that but most probably we would like the pond to live its life, meaning it may dry up for two months.
This blog is very interesting but not updated. I find the question of David Bayà and Buba captivating, I wish that there were no tigers mosquito and others mosquitos because they are very annoying.
ReplyDeleteOn the other side I think that this blog is very thoughtful and I congratulate those who have done it.
