Our Trip to Puskus by Ashni

On September tenth we went to Puskus Lake.  We had so much fun and we found so many interesting things.  We say a very cool spider web.  Then we learned about fungi that was growing on the bathroom.  We went to the lake and found something very special.  We had so much fun.

We saw a very cool spider web.  The spider web had a dragonfly in it.  The web was huge, but the spider was not.  Everyone was shocked at how small the spider was.  It was amazing.

Fungi is really gross.  We saw it on the bathroom.  It probably thought that the bathroom was a tree.  Fungi is all sorts of things, like mushrooms.  I can't believe we eat fungi.

Bryozoans are really weird.  It reeked so bad.  Bryozoa is like coral, but it feels like jello!  It is a group of brownish-yellow animals.  We found it in the lake.  It was really heavy.

Puskus Lake was fun.  The spider was super cool.  The fungi was gross.  The bryozoan was jiggly and jello-like.  It was sad when we had to leave.
