Escaping snails!
Having snails in our classroom has been a lot of fun and we have learnt a very interesting fact about snails. We knew they like to eat at night time but they didn't want the food we had in the container they liked to escape.
Tuesday morning we discovered that the snails could and would eat the paper we had used to cover them
No matter what we covered the snails with they pushed their way out. Over the week we found snails in various places in our classroom
* under the chairs
* in the cupboard
* in the insect books we had on display on the table
We even found one in a headphone which was a long way away from the table where we had the snails - fancy that.
As we headed home on Friday - Mrs Rennie-Younger released the snails so they could explore our school grounds!
I wonder what next week will bring - when we look at caterpillars!!!

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.
