ECHIDNA Preparation • Collect pictures of echidnas. • Share and discuss the echidna pictures with the class. • Say the rhyme with the actions for the class. • Discuss facts about echidnas (see ‘Additional activities/information’). • The echidna is an egg-laying mammal. Sharp spines cover its back and sides. Its front legs are very strong and it has claws shaped like garden spades which can dig under large heavy rocks to loosen them so the echidna’s long tongue can search for food. The echidna forages for up to 18 hours a day, probing the ground with its snout and using its sense of smell to find its food—ants, termites, worms, beetles and earthworms—which it gathers and crushes with its long, sticky, roughly-textured tongue. The echidna has a purposeful gait and is a good swimmer. It sleeps under bushes or in hollow logs, rock crevices, rabbit or wombat burrows. When disturbed, the echidna curls into a ball, making it almost completely covered with spines; however, its belly remains vulnerable to attack from wild dogs. Echidnas, however, are survivors. They are generally solitary and have been known to live to 45 or 50 years of age. • Great-granny echidna will soon be 50 years old! Write and decorate an invitation asking family and friends to her birthday party and then decide on a menu for the party. For example: Who: What: Presentation Additional activities/information The family of Great-granny echidna are pleased to invite you to Great-granny echidna’s 50th birthday party • Say the rhyme with the actions again for the class. • The class claps the beat while saying the rhyme. • The class says the rhyme with the actions. Where: When: Menu under the coolibah trees by the Matilda Billabong on Saturday 4 March at 7 am barbecued worm sausages with termite sauce fresh beetle bread rolls earthworm salad homemade ant-flavoured ice-cream birthday cake Discuss what might have happened at the party. For example, ‘Great-granny loved her birthday presents, especially a little silver coin with a picture of an echidna on it, wrapped in a fresh green gumleaf. The little echidnas played “Pass the parcel” and the older echidnas played “Marco Polo” in the billabong’. ©R.I.C. Publications Low Resolution Images Display Copy • Discuss how to play ‘Marco Polo’. • Discuss Australian money. View five-cent coins and discuss the design of the echidna. • The design of the echidna (also known as the spiny anteater) on the Australian fivecent coin was created by Stuart Devlin.
