Hi Class3 Parents! 🐌
The children may have come home and asked you already but I thought I'd better confirm that I would like somebody to look after the snails over the summer holidays.
They are fairly low maintenance and low cost! The children have been helping clean them out and feed them each week and have really enjoyed having them in class.
They eat cucumber, need spraying once a week, old food and excrement removed and perhaps once over the holidays they could have tank cleaned and soil replaced (which I will provide). They can be left for 4-5 days if you are planning to go away at all just make sure soil is damp and they aren't left in a hot place.
If your child wants to hold them at all, that is fine just make sure their hand have been sprayed with water as need to be damp.
I have told the class that if I have lots of offers I will put names into hat to make it fair.
Many thanks,
Mrs Mason
