Mini-beast hunting

To start off Science Week, we begun an investigation into mini-beasts.

First we discussed what mini-beasts are and thought of  lots of different types of mini-beasts.

Then we talked about where we would find each mini-beast and we wondered if there were any mini-beasts around school.

We went on a mini-beast hunt to see which ones we could find and where they were living.

We found that there were lots of ladybirds around, particularly near the flowers.  We also discovered some worms on the damp soil and in dark, wet places.  When we moves some stones, there were ants underneath.  There were also some flies that flew past us and there was a spider's web in the hut, although we didn't actually see a spider.
