minibeast hunt

Diane from Starling Learning came into class today to help us learn about minibeasts that we might find in our playground.


She told us about insects having six legs and asked us to think about other creatures that had more legs or even none at all!


We were keen to get outside and have a look for ourselves, even though it was quite chilly!

Diane showed us where to look and how to carefully lift the minibeasts with a spoon so that we didn't hurt them.



We worked with a partner to find the minibeasts.

We looked at them closely in the viewing jars. The jar had a special lid that made the minibeasts look much bigger so that we could have a really good look at them.

We had to put them back in the same area that we found them. Diane told us that some minibeasts might not travel too far so if we put them at the other side of the playground, they might never get home.

Thank you again to Diane for all her help.
