This week during Reading Comprehension year 5 and 6 have been learning about insects. They have been researching different species of insects, their habitats and behaviours - working extremely hard to find out interesting pieces of information.
Lenny discovered that a spider is not a member of the insect family as it has eight legs. In fact it is a member of the Arachnid family.
Lewis found out that ants have two stomachs, one for digesting its own food and the other for feeding its family.
Georgina researched snails and their natural habitats. Did you know they like to come out when it has been raining and the ground is wet?
One of the insects Albie studied was bees, he discovered that when a bee stings a human they leave their stinger behind along with part of their nervous system and abdomen, resulting in the bee dying!
Russell found out that a praying mantis is the only insect that can look over its shoulder for predators.
Everyone contributed well to this weeks topic and shared lots of information - well done!
