Year One are crazy about minibeasts!

This term we have been learning all about minibeasts. We have become fantastic investigators, finding facts about how they move, eat and protect themselves. Each class went to the environmental garden and observed the minibeasts in action. We then took a class vote deciding which minibeast was our favourite. We chose spiders, ladybirds, butterflies, bumblebees and snails.



Then we put all we had learnt to the test! We made a book about our favourite minibeast including lots of interesting facts. When we came to school on Friday 24th June our class had been transformed into a garden. We were no longer children....we were minibeasts.





We spent the day in character doing many activities including drawing our habitat and learning a song and a new dance. Then in our minibeast groups we acted out what might happen in our day.





We then wrote our own minibeast diary: 'A day in the life of...'.

What a busy day!
