Today we enjoyed a marvellous outdoor session in drizzly rain, then blazing sunshine!
We began by discussing all the mini beasts we know and predicting which ones we might spot if we searched for them.
After that we worked in pairs investigating the area and searching for mini beasts before carefully collecting them in our viewing boxes. We were amazed at just how many we found. Not just under rocks, but simply crawling or jumping or squirming around on the grass.
We took some time to analyse them using the little magnifying glasses on to of the boxes. Again, there was much surprise when we saw just how quickly they moved, how they all moved and how their bodies were made up.
Here are some photos of the mini beasts we found.
