A Storythread Experience for Grade Four
Blanket Role - Entomologists-in-Training
Entomologists-in-Training understand everything is connected.
E.I.T.s investigate ‘bugs’ and the vital role insects play in maintaining the health of our planet. They take action to ensure the survival of insects and their habitats by sharing their knowledge and understanding with others.
Through the Bugs ‘R’ Us Storythread, students are enrolled as Entomologists-in-Training. Their preparation leads them to the Annual Arthropods Conference where their knowledge, understandings and values will be put to the test in order to protect the Bugs of Brisbane.
