All about snails.

Our inquiry topic for this term is about the Living World. To start off with there are many living things that we can find in our backyard such as insects or bugs.  The challenge was to find something outside our home in the backyard.

I wrote about how I found a snail on my grass and I also drew a picture too.

Here are some facts about snails.  Did you know snails don't have a back bone.  Like us, our back bone is called a spine.  Snails are invertebrates other insects like bees, ants, dragon fly, butterfly, grasshopper, mosquitos, beetles are invertebrates, too!

Snails like moist conditions, when the ground is wet they can slide across it more easily. You will often find them when it has been raining.

Garden snails can reach a top speed of 45 metres per hour.  This makes them one of the slowest creatures on the planet.

    I really like your writing about finding a snail on your grass and cool drawing too. Sometimes snails go back into their shells because of danger or the weather. Did you get to find any other insects on your search outside?

    Keep up the good work Frank. Well done.
