Class 1 and P1/2 went on  bug hunts to find  and record the types of invertebrates that live in different habitats in our school grounds. They looked on soft ground surfaces like soil and short grass first. Then they looked on human made hard surfaces like walls and fences. Finally, they looked on plants like shrubs, trees and long grass. They used magnifying glasses to help them identify the bugs. They found that different types of invertebrates prefer to live in different habitats. There were more spiders on walls and fences, but more woodlice, slugs and caterpillars on soft ground. On plants there were greenfly and ladybirds. These OPAL (Open Air Laboratories) surveys help scientists to keep an eye on how creatures are surviving across the country when you send them your findings.
