This week we have been busy learning about mini-beasts.

We went on a mini-beast hunt with Miss Hoey.  We founds lots of different mini-beasts…..worms , slugs, snails, woodlice, caterpillars, flies, bees, spiders and even a millipede!

 

We learned that mini-beasts don’t have a backbone or a skeleton in their bodies. We also learned that butterflies taste food with their feet – imagine that!!!!

Insects have six legs but did you know that spiders have 8 legs?

We had to look under logs, under stones and in the trees to find some of them.

Next week we will be learning about one mini beast that we found on our hunt!  I wonder what it will be?…..
