We have cocoons!

Minibeast models!

We have had some amazing Minibeast models brought in for homework. Fab effort Reception!

Spiders diary

After reading "Diary of a Spider" today some children decided to write a diary entry pretending to be a spider. 

Crazy caterpillars!

Our children were amazed to see how much our caterpillars have grown over the weekend!

They now measure over 3cm! I don't think it'll be long until they start making their cocoons.

Caterpillars!

Our caterpillars have FINALLY arrived and we are excited to watch them grow. They measure 1cm today!

Fab writing

Reception have been busy writing about the minibeasts they found during their minibeast hunt.

Minibeast hunters!

As a kick start to our minibeast topic Reception went to park view for a minibeast hunt. We began the day with a walk through wishing well wood.

We found the perfect spot to start looking for minibeasts.

After all that digging for bugs, we used some clay to make our own minibeasts. We used things we found on the ground to help make them look more realistic.

After that we went and did some digging in deep soil, we found lots of worms in here!

We saw a beehive and looked at the honey, some of us tasted it - so sweet!

Then it was time for dinner. We sat in the cosy pod and warmed up.

We just had enough time for a play on the park before heading back to school.
