P3/4 went on an adventure to Polkemmet Country Park. We were taking our learning about minibeasts to a new environment. We had a minibeast hunt to see what minibeasts we could find and compare this to what we were able to find at school. We used a pooter jar to suck up different minibeasts. We had to make sure we only sucked using the green tube! We found lots of minibeasts like worms, millipedes, centipedes, beetles, daddy long legs, flies and woodlice. It was quite a dull and cold day so there were not any bees, ladybirds or butterflies. We got to have our lunch at the playpark and have a play too. After lunch we went to make some art. We had to use materials we could find like leaves, twigs and flowers to make pictures of minibeasts. Miss Tuke was really impressed by our creativity! Before heading back to school we had to collect objects for our minibeast hotel. We are building this in a few weeks but the park was like the best shop for what a minibeast would need! We have lots of twigs, bark, pine cones and other materials.
