And our surprise guest was....

Today Rohana's Dad gave a talk about a different type of farming. As a class we discussed whether or not we thought fish could be farmed and what it would involve.

 

We looked at how fish are farmed in the sea in a variety of ways including these massive floating cages.

 

 

Then we looked at the development of a lobster and how it grows in stages from stage one where they are very tiny to stage 5 where they are the size of your palm. We then got to see a real lobster and talk about the features of lobsters. Did you know that lobsters have two different sized front claws called a cruncher and a crusher! I wonder if the children can tell you any more facts they learnt?

 

After all having a turn at touching the lobster Year 1 then recalled some great facts about them in our writing books and I must say some fantastic pictures!!

 

We hope that you have an enjoyable half term. All the children came out with a home learning task about the artist Andy Goldsworthy. We would like them to research; Who he is? What is his job? What does he use in his art work? Can you name one of his pieces of work? We would like this piece of work in on the Monday /Tuesday when we get back. Thank you.
