Owl pellets contain the indigestible remains –\u00a0 fur and bones – of prey eaten by owls.\u00a0 Mrs. Pavlove’s grade 4 class dissected some at school\u00a0 – they were studying food chains in the Habitats and Communities unit.\u00a0 This is what they had to say…<\/p>\n
Dear Mr. Rasberry,
\nOur class dissected the owl pellets today. They all wanted to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH and that they all enjoyed it ~\u00a0except for one student who has a weak stomach but said he still liked it from afar \ud83d\ude42
\nHere are some comments that the kids want you to know:
\n“I found a deer mouse skull with the jaw attached!”
\n“I found a vole skull!”
\nFrom two students, “Our favourite type of bone was the hip bone.”
\n”\u00a0It was the best day EVER!!!”
\nThere were some bones that we weren’t sure about so that will have to remain a mystery! They are all saying comments out at once, but those will also need to remain a mystery because the bell just went so we have to go now.
\nThanks again!
\nFrom your friends in Grade 4<\/p>\n
