Facts about squid

The children were interested in squid and cuttlefish. Therefore, I used about half an hour to go through some facts about squid with the children that I can find online.

These are some facts about the squid:

-          The shape of the squid is like a torpedo

-          The squid has 8 tentacles with suction cups; it also has 2 long tentacles to capture its prey

-          They swim faster than other invertebrates

-          It has 2 large eyes

-          Female squid is larger than male squid (Pin Jee said the female squid needs to carry a lot of babies. He must have remember it from the crab.)

-          The squid can swim backwards

-          Female squid lays thousands of eggs

-          Squid eats fish, smaller squid and crustaceans

-          Squid can lives about one to two years

-          Just like octopus, squid can also eject black ink

I did individual vocabulary reading while the rest of the children did some free reading on their own.

I was on leave yesterday therefore, there’s no blog update for 15^th April,2014.
