We had a fantastic day in the forest today.  Following on from our 3D thinking map last week we went on minibeast hunts today.  We were trying to find out which minibeasts were the most common in the forest so that we could find out which food we should be providing.  We made 3D picture graphs to keep a record of the minibeasts we found.  We discovered that slugs and millipedes were the most common minibeasts in the forest.

We also had some free-play exploring ‘Jurassic World.’  This is a great area for building our skills in climbing, balancing and building.  Many of us decided to make a bridge across a very muddy section and worked in teams to gather up large sticks to make the bridge.  Some of us also balanced on logs and climbed on fallen trees.  Many of us enjoyed exploring the watery areas of the forest and had fun throwing in large sticks.  As you may have guessed from our very messy clothes, our favourite free-play activity was squelching, jumping and playing in the very sticky mud!

Enzo even lost his shoes!
