Our habitats are now well under construction! This week we have used our notes to work out what each minibeast would need from a habitat. We went searching in the school grounds for the materials we thought we would need. Some people also brought in extra things from home. Next, we planned our habitats carefully and have started to build them using our plans. Next week, we will be looking at each other’s habitats and giving feedback on how to improve the design, using our knowledge of minibeasts and what they need from their habitats. We want our habitats to be as good as they can be! When they are finished we will be taking them home and finding a good place outside to put them. Over the summer, we will be watching closely to see who moves in! Maybe we will add some pictures to the blog so Mrs. Ward can see!
- Sam’s habitat has something to suit all minibeasts!
- Will’s habitat for a ladybird is coming on well!
- James’ habitat for a beetle looks good.
- Jacques made a habitat for all minibeasts
- Jake’s habitat for a snail is looking good!
- Minibeast habitat development lab!
- We went on a search to collect our supplies, categorised them then did our plans to show how we would use the materials we’d found to make suitable habitats.
- Hamish found a friendly slug whilst searching for bark for his habitat!
- Macy M found an old cocoon- I wonder what lived inside?
- Joseph spotted the aphids on these nettle stems after watching a David Attenborough documentary about ladybirds and taking careful notes.
- We were very excited to find these eggs on a nettle leaf- we think they could be ladybird eggs!
- Gabe found this slippery slug on this old piece of roofing.
I showed my dad the ladybird eggs on the nettle leaves. He thinks our topic looks brilliant!
Hi,
It looks like the Kingsland mini-beasts will have some great habitats!
Brilliant set of photos.
