Welcome to Spring term two. This term is the start of and we are going to be exploring the wonderful world of mini beats and lifecycle and of course we will finish this term with Easter. 

So this week  Minibeasts are Ladybirds, Bees and Dragon fly's. We have created ladybirds using potatoes and we have created a hive for the bees. To carry on with our bees we explored honey and bread at snack time which a lot of the children enjoyed and shared they have honey at home.

Week 2: This week we are going to explore spiders snails, slugs, ants and worms, we discovered that not all spiders are the same and that some spiders like to live underground.

We also discovered that we will only found snails, slugs and worms in our gardens when the weather is rainy as they enjoy being wet and cold. We also enjoyed learning new mini beasts songs with our music teacher Mrs Walter.

We also got to create Symmetrical butterflies  using lots of bright colours.

We also created our own life cycle in the playground using chalks.
