An Insect's Body

We have been studying a poem about insects.

Every Insect
Every Insect (ant, fly, bee)
Is divided into three:
One head, one chest, one stomach part.

Some have brains.
All have a heart.
Insects have no bones,

No noses.

Bu with feelers they can smell,
Dinner half a mile away.

Can your nose do half as well?

Also you'd be in a fix,
With all those legs to manage:
Six.
By Dorothy Aldis

Today we had to create insects using modelling clay. A lot of us created spiders, worms and snails and most of our insects only had one huge body part. Then we gathered some information about insects, including watching this video.



After that, we all reviewed our clay models to see if we still thought they were correct. We realised that none of them were correct insect models. We also found out that spiders, snails and worms are not insects! A lot of us decided to change our clay models. Here is a picture trail of our different models.

Once I had a spider called "grafton" and my dad put grafton away from the door and I did'nt seen him again, but he's not a insect, he's a four-legged insect. He's like an reptile. H
He's my beloved spider I've ever get on my toilet carpet. I nicknamed him "fur" because he's a bit furry and cluzzy.
