Nursery have had fun this week finding out all about crabs. We brought a real crab (dead of course!) into the classroom for the children to investigate. They had the opportunity to look at its features, find out what it felt like and smelt like! They learnt that crabs have their skeleton on their outside, that they have 8 legs and 2 pincer like claws and that they walk sideways! We looked at information books to find out various facts and also looked on the internet for information!
The children have also had the opportunity to find out how chips are cooked, and what they are made from. The children were introduced to the idea of having to buy the chips before they ate them so were given the opportunity to handle real money. The chips tasted delicious!
Our study of sea creatures continues…
