Coming Out of their Shells

Another guest post from our wonderful Year 6 students...

They are here! They're crawling! They're alive!  

In previous weeks our school hermit crabs have unexpectedly changed their shells.These funny little hermit crabs can be found at the St. Catherine's library.They like to eat plain popcorn, cheese crackers, cooked brown rice, crushed eggshell, cat food, dog food, turtle food, fish food, carrot, apple, parsley, basil, broccoli, and cucumber.



The new hermit crabs are called Smiley, Lightning McQueen, Garfield, Spiderman and Superhero Man.You must be careful when you pick up the hermit crabs. Put them on your hand with your palm stretched out tight because if you don't they might pinch you and it will hurt! You can also pick them up from the back of their shell.
 Can you find the shell without the Hermit crab?

 These funny little hermit crabs look forward to seeing you.

    I must remember to pop in and visit Smiley and the gang soon...

    I think I'd quite like to be a hermit crab... Well fed, great company and it seems to be no trouble to move house whenever you feel like it...

    My son Ben donated some hermit crabs to the library. He got them for his 21st birthday from friends and he didn't want them so I gave them to Mrs Hegarty, because she LOVES hermit crabs. I wonder if they are still the ones we have now or if they have gone to heaven. Great photos. Good camera angles to make them more interesting. I look forward to checking in with your Blog year 6 and seeing what you have been up to. Regards Mrs Boevink
