If you haven’t made or drawn a web yet, you can do that today. Go to yesterday’s Maths blog for ideas.
If you have made a 3d web, how about making a spider (and a poor fly!) to go with it?
I am looking forward to hearing about and seeing your learning today.
Love from Miss Siswick. (I will be teaching at school so I will not be able to respond until later today.)
It would really help me if you could upload photos straight to the media file (instructions are here: sharing photos and files) as they get to me more quickly and easily as they don’t have to go via the office and my e-mail. Please can either your child’s name or face (but not both) be visible on any photos. Many thanks.
Philip and Florence have been two very busy spiders this morning. We read about the golden orb spider from India who make the biggest webs in the world and they wanted to give it a try.
That is a fantastic web, Philip and Florence! It is enormous. I don’t think I would like to meet the spiders who make that web. I bet they are enormous too!
Spiders spin webs to catch flies to eat. I liked the video of the spider spinning her web even though it was a bit scary and the spider looked very spiky!
Hello everyone.
The spiderweb is very beautiful.
It is the spider’s home. It is strong and sticky like glue so that it can catch the flies, kill her and it her.
Eloisa and mommy made spiders from play dough. She added two pedipalps in the front (in blue) because she noticed them on the photographs above. She calls them “little antenna thingies.”
Why do spiders make webs? Nicolas: Because they love it and they are a bit tired but they keep on doing it.
After doing some research: the spider catches her food with the web (she ate the fly).
Greetings from Nicolas
Well done, Nicolas. You learned something new about spiders.
Hello,
Why do spiders spin webs? Because the spiders like spin.
I think spiders might like spinning webs, Victoire. Can you find out a bit more by looking at the websites or in a book?
Why do spiders spin webs?
“Because them are spiders and they want to have spider webs. And that’s them home.”
Great ideas, Philip. Can you find out a bit more from the websites or books?

Spider spins webs because they want to build their home and to trap their prey weaving cocoons for their eggs.
Spider have eight legs.
Well done, Adelaide. You found out more about spiders’ webs.
Spiders make webs so they can catch flies and eat them!
Well done, Sam. I love your enormous sticky web. You might catch some flies of your own on that!
Hello Miss Siswick,
Spiders spin webs to catch flies to eat. I liked the video of the spider spinning her web even though it was a bit scary and the spider looked very spiky!
Well done, Fiadh. The video is a bit scary, isn’t it? I feel sorry for the poor fly!

Well done, Leopold. You found out lots about spiders’ webs.
Alexander says spiders spin webs because that’s where they sleep and keep their eggs. He made a spider and fly to go with his 3D web.
He watched the video of the spider building her web. After this, he said spiders use the web to catch flies to eat.
Well done, Alexander. You knew a lot about spiders’ webs already and you learned something new.
Eloisa and mommy made spiders from play dough. She added two pedipalps in the front (in blue) because she noticed them on the photographs above. She calls them “little antenna thingies.”
Well done, Eloisa. You found out more about spiders today and looked closely at the pictures. Did you also find out why spiders spin webs?
When I asked Caspian Why spider like to spin a web? Caspian responded because she like to catch a fly.
Well done, Caspian. Poor fly!
Spiders spin webs so they can trap and eat flies.
That’s right, Hermine. Poor flies!
Spiders use the web they make to catch food that flies into by accident for the spider
Well done, James. The spider knows that if it waits long enough, a fly or another insect will get stuck on the web.
