Dear Parents and Friends of the Cooper Room,
With a week filled with such glorious weather we have had some wonderful playtimes outside. The cooper room have been on the search for Ants to fill our Ant pod. The first group died and the second group escaped! The children have been eagerly searching for ants nests and following ants to see if they would lead us back to their nests.
Joe brought in a snail he found in the garden for show and tell and so our snail hunt began! The children searched everywhere but so far we have only found an empty snail shell.
“Maybe the snail found a new shell,” said Alexander
“He has gone on a holiday,” laughed Harry F
“I know you needed a new shell so he left this one.” suggested Toby
“Snails are from the garden,” said Campbell “ We have them in our garden.”
“Snails have hard back. It heavy for snail,” said Ryan
Today we found some slugs under a tree and the children have loved watching them make a “snail trail” across the black card. We would love to keep some snails in the class for a while so the children can closely observe them and investigate if they can leave their shells and how do they make their sparkly trail. Please keep your eyes out and go snail hunting this weekend!
Susan, Jain, Rosalie and Yvonne
