We’ve been finding out about snails, spiders, bees and ladybirds this week. These were some of our favourite poems from our book of the week.
We used the sensory area to explore the hexagon shapes that make a bee hive and got busy weaving on the hexagon shaped mats.
We found out that spiders had eight eyes and eight legs. We made our own spiders in the dough.
We designed our own snail inspired art work following the spiral shapes on their shells.
Our chrysalides are now in the butterfly garden and we are checking them every day for any changes.
Help at home
We have been finding out lots of facts about mini beasts this half term. Ask your child if they can talk to you about what they have found out. We are sure that they will remember lots.
