Our Sea and Shore Challenge Homework

6/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Our project is the sea and shore. Mrs Stout gives us challenge homework. This is homework that is a challenge! We have to do stuff that nobody else does, and not copy anyone. This challenge homework was to collect shells and make something out of it that’s really cool.

Davy: “I built my box by myself in the shed. My Grandad helped me a little bit. I nailed it all in and cut it all out and Grandad put the hinges on.”

Alfie: “My dad helped me make the box and my mum put all the sections and the shells in and my dad put the scallops on the front.”

Jack: “My mum did the first bit but it was too small. Then I cut it out and it was too big! Then mum did it again and it was fine, and we stuck the shells on.”

Robyn: “My mum cut off the top of a cardboard box. Then we stuck on some shells and we decorated the boat with groatie buckies.”

Harry the Hermit Crab

Riley’s dad caught the star fish and then he gave the bucket to us with the star fish in it. We looked in and saw all the star fish. We took them out so that we could draw them. And then we saw a hermit crab!! We called it Harry the Hermit Crab!

It was such a surprise because that morning we read a book about a hermit crab! In the book the crab didn’t have a shell and then he was looking around and he found a shell so he went inside it. And he shared it with a sea anemone and a worm that cleans the shell.

Harry the hermit crab had a tiny tiny shell, that wasn’t the right size for him. Robbie and Alfie were looking for a big shell for him, and then we got a little winkle. He didn’t go into the winkle, so we put him in a big dog whelk. He was very still then and we were a bit worried he was dead.
