Outside today we had an amazing time searching for minibeasts. We started off by playing a game to name as many mini beasts as we knew. I am sure you agree we came up with quite a list.

We then went out and investigated the area to find where the minibeasts hung out. Lots were found hiding in trees and many of us thought they were there to shelter from the rain.

After having a talk together about what kind of beasts we saw ( a lot of slugs and snails today, we concluded they must like the rain) we worked in pairs to collect a mini beast to study and observe.

There were lots of incredible discussions on how they moved and how their bodies were patterned as everyone worked excitedly in the rain.

Finally we drew diagrams and labelled the most important features we noticed about our mini beasts.
