The children have enjoyed a busy summer in Forest School looking at all things creepy and crawly. For our Minibeast term we have looked closely at one kind of minibeast per week. This included ants, snails, caterpillars, butterflies, grasshoppers, bees and ladybirds. We learnt what makes each creature unique and how to identify them using colour, shape and features. The children used crafts and tool-work to recreate parts of their learning and were very proud to take their pieces home. The term culminated in our Minibeast Olympics events with toasted marshmallows around the fire pit.
