Hi boys and girls. The ladies at nursery wondered if you would like to go on a mini beast hunt around your garden. You never know who you will find in your garden. They may be living in the bushes or in the soil and remember to check under rocks and plant pots too !

All you need is a bit of paper and a pencil, you could either write the name or draw a picture of what you find.

Or…..

I wonder if you have any ladybirds in your garden? You could draw a picture of a ladybird and then every time you see one you could make a mark, for example a ✔ and then once you have finished your hunt you could count up the ✔’s and then you will find out how many ladybirds live in your garden. You could try this for lots of different insects.

What sound does the word ladybird start with? You could practice saying that sound. Can you feel what your tongue is doing when you make that sound?

Happy hunting and please parents if you could post your pictures on here, twitter or on your child’s learning journey. Thank you.
