This term in Reception our topic is ‘Growing and changing’
and to help us get this topic under way we had some visitors in the form of
mini beasts come to school today. We got to meet a range of bugs; including a
green stick insect, an emperor scorpion, an Australian green bean insect, a
pink wing leaf insect, some Madagascan cockroaches and even a millipede with no
less than 280 legs! All the children were extremely brave with lots of them jumping
at the chance to hold the mini beasts, getting up close and personal even letting
them crawl over them!
If that was not enough excitement we then spent the
afternoon looking for our very own mini beasts in our outside area. We became
bug detectives hunting under logs, looking on leaves and digging in soil to see
what bugs we could find.
We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Martin for our ‘Bugtastic’ day.
