Mini Beasts

Mrs Stevens spoke to them about growth and decay. We had some lovely comments about the old hanging baskets ‘look it’s all crumbly’ ‘it looks different’ ‘it needs water’ ‘it is brown.’ The children had a lovely time looking in the garden at mini beasts ‘I found a snail it is a round shape’ they also found lots of ladybirds in the different stages of their life cycle.

The children have enjoyed looking for spiders in the garden, creating spider webs using string, using tweezers to pick up spiders from a big web, learning about how many legs a spider has, and creating models and pictures telling the story of the Incy Wincy spider. We have also been looking at words that rhyme and sound the same. We have been learning about bees. We have been printing with bubble wrap to make honey combes. We have made bees and have been drawing bees. Did you know that a bee has 4 wings and 6 legs?
