Snails, snails and more snails

This week we had a chance to look at a minibeast in some depth - the good old garden snail.


We looked at it very closely - taking the opportunity to sketch it.



We learnt about the parts of a snail and used a mimio activity to reinforce our learning.




We watched this video of a snail eating lettuce - a chance to see the snail's tongue with it's thousands and thousands of small sharp teeth munching it's way through a piece of lettuce.


We found out a lot of facts about snails and used a Y chart to organise our information


We looked at our snail sketches to draw a much bigger snail. We then used a black vivid and dye to make our snails colourful. Play the movie to see all of our wonderful art work.




Some of us drew a snail on KidPix making sure we drew tentacles, eyes, the foot and the breathing hole.


Next week we will write a report on a snail - using the information we have learnt. Look out for us reading these reports in the weeks to come.
