The year two children have been learning about the coral reefs. As part of this study, they made edible coral polyps in class. They also each wrote descriptive poems about the coral reef. Lines from everyone’s poems were chosen to create a class poem. The Amazing Coral Reef Yr-2 poem. Wow – such it really conveys the busy life of the coral reef habitat – Well done, Year 2!
Each coral polyp consisted of a hard outer skeleton (paper cupcake liner), a soft body (marshmallow), a central mouth (candy corn) feeding tentacles (licorice strings) and algae to provide food for the coral (green sprinkles).
