The Trapdoor Family

One sunny fine day, mum went to feed the rabbits but there was a spider in the rabbits foodbox. Mum called me. I ran to mum. I had a stick and jar and lid. Mum went to get the broom to kill it. I bought a big tank especially made for spiders. I put dirt and dead grass and sticks and bugs. I kept them as pets. I had 16 spiders. They were trap door spiders.

Some more science

Today I looked at needs and wants.
A need is something we must have to live.
A want is something we would like to have but don't need to live.



This is a picture of our house and what we have that are needs and wants.
Some needs are food, water, warmth (we have a heater) and shelter.
Some wants are tv, playstation, tv, computer, toys and chips.

The little part of science

I learnt about living and non living things.
Living things are called biotic and non living things are called abiotic.
I went into my backyard and looked for biotic and abiotic things.
This is what I found.

Biotic
Dog, rabbits, plants, bees, tree, the ground is made of volcanic rock, grass

Abiotic
Rabbits hutch, blankets, fence, broken gate, BBQ, watering can, water compost, bricks.

Caring for Hermit Crabs

Hermit crabs need a mix of food and make sure you have salt water.
The main reasons for water is so they can keep their lungs moist or they will suffocate.
In your tank make sure you have lots of sand, rocks. Then you can buy some seaweed and a crab house.

Most important things to remember:
Fresh water
Food - chopped up veges, fruit. I gave them watermelon.
Put them near the sub, they like warm temperature. I have a special lamp and a heat pad for our tank.
