As part of our ‘Living Things’ topic, we have been learning about spiders.  This was Ronan’s great idea.  We have looked at lots of spiders. We didn’t know that there so many !

We now know that :

There is a black widow spider – Kai.

There is a spider called a tarantula – Zach.

Spiders have oil on ther back – Neve W.

Spiders have eight legs – Finlay A.

Spiders do not fly – Maymunah.

Spiders spray webs to catch flies – Evan.

A spider web is made out of silk – Casper.

Some spiders are very hairy – Daniel.

Spiders have two body parts – Chloe.

Spiders have oil on their body so that they don’t stick to their web – Connor.

Some spiders eat other spiders – Kai.

Spiders have little holes on their body and this is where you get the silk – Finlay F.

Some spiders have eight eyes – Aoibhe.

After learning so many different facts we made our own spider’s web out of string and wool.  We also rolled a sphere into paint to create a spider’s web. We used our thumbs to print little spiders.  It was a lot of fun.
