Stacey's Garden Spider! 8 February 2012
Stacey's Mum found a spider in the garden today and man was it BIG! Stacey let the whole class have a look through the jar.
"I'm going to let it go tonight." she told us. Stacey's spider generated lots of good discussion especially about what the difference between a spider and an insect was.
Thanks for sharing Stacey!
