Space Shuttles and Snail Traps!

This morning a group of the boys discovered a snail or slug trail around the classroom. It is a trail that baffles us most mornings when we arrive for school. The boys have decided that it must be caught, so created their very own trap. It consists of a shoe box tied with string which will drop down and trap the snail when it enters. They have also left a trail of leaves picked from the beanstalk that we know the snails and slugs love. One of the children even created a electrical circuit including a buzzer to let us know if anything has been caught!

Will it work?! We shall see in the morning!

In maths we have been looking at recognising teen numbers and building matching towers. The children worked with a partner for this.

 

This afternoon we started making our own space shuttles. We hope to finish them tomorrow. Pictures to follow.
