We were very lucky this morning as some children brought in some treasures that they had found at the beach.

We had crab body and a crab claw, some seaweed and some beautiful rocks.

 

We thought the crab was very smelly.

 

 

To explore crabs further we talked about different types of crabs and looked closely at the Hermit Crab. We found out that the Hermit Crab has a soft body and its shell is not attached to its body. When the Hermit Crab grows bigger it needs to find a new shell to live in.

 

We looked at and talked about different shells to see which ones we thought would be good for the Hermit Crab to live in.
