This term, Primary 1 are learning all  about minibeasts.

We introduced our new theme with the story of “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, by Eric Carle which illustrates the life cycle of a butterfly and we have some live caterpillars in our classroom which we are looking forward to watching changing into butterflies.

Our role play area is a “Minibeast Investigation Lab”, where we are having fun using different pieces of equipment to investigate some pretend minibeasts up close.

We visited our outdoor garden area on a minibeast hunt equipped with bug finders, magnifying glasses and minibeast observation sheets so that we could record our findings.We were lucky enough to discover slugs, snails, beetles, woodlice and some tiny spiders.

We will continue with our outdoor learning experiences with a visit to Beecraigs Country Park on 31st May.
