This week and last week our theme has been mini beasts.
We have been engaged in all sorts of activities round our topic and working on skills of observational drawing, research, using language to describe our experiences and doing bugs maths, among other learning opportunities.
Feeding the tennis ball bugs with lots of yummy buttons - this helps our fine motor skills.
Making fact files about our favourite mini beast.
Finding mini beasts in the sand and talking about how many legs they have
Sorting information and fiction books, talking about why they are different.
Counting the spots on our lady birds
Making a lego mazes to run our hex bugs through and thinking about how we can get the hex bugs to move round the mazes taking different routes
Observing and touching the snails and using our language skills to describe what we see and feel.
