Crabs and lobsters!

Mr Gray came to show us different kinds of crabs and lobsters, and told us lots of interesting facts about them.  We were very glad they had bands on their claws! We now know what to look for when we go on our beach trip!

As well as being really bonnie, it is a way of using up material from clothes that were no longer used - recycling and reusing!  It was especially nice for us to see a real patchwork quilt since we have Jack's patc...
