This week the children have been learning about the different mini beasts that live in our nursery garden. With much enthusiasm they have been digging to look for worms, slugs, slaters and beetles. There was also a tiny ladybird that the children wanted to keep as  a pet. They were very sad when it flew away. We have been teaching the children to be gentle with the bugs and to release them back into the garden when they are finished looking at them. They are learning to be kind and responsible. 🐞🕷
