What an interesting morning we spent outdoors today.
We started off by doing a little research indoors on millipedes and centipedes before heading outside and predicting the minibeasts we might find.
After that we explored the area we were working in to find where the minibeasts might be.
Once we knew where to look, in pairs we collected a mini-beast in our boxes and, using the magnifying glasses on the boxes, we analysed them and how they moved.
Our most amazing find today was this little amphibian we managed to catch as he* hopped across the grass. His heart was beating very fast so we reckon he was quite scared, that’s why we let him go again after a minute or so in captivity. (*Mrs Kelly checked it out and he is most likely a male, as the little circle bit covering his ear, just behind his eye, is bigger than the size of his eye, which in most frog species indicates it’s a male)
Finally we recorded our findings by drawing a diagram and labelling it.
