Field Trip: the Zoological Museum - end

In the museum: where do these animals come from?
At the end, a group picture!

Field Trip: the Zoological Museum - more

Kids in the museum: hearing the different sounds the mini beasts make.

Field Trip: the Zoological Museum

Interesting! Kids could have a close look at little bugs and "big ones". Fun to go to... A nice tip for parents too!

Art on Mini-beasts

The children have created their own funny mini-beast. Very creative ... They have also painted ladybugs on rocks... They're sitting outside our door. Take a look!

As normal, we always try to integrate the inquiry into the main subjects of study. When learning 2D shapes, for example, the children have created a beehive (with hexagons) and sorted the shapes by curved and straight lines. We have also (on data handling) seen what is every body's favorite mini-beast.

Mother's Day

On Mother's day, we chose to present the mums with something to do with our unit of inquiry: a ladybug paper's holder. Really nice...

Another Bug Hunt

The Bug Hunt continues... this time we went to the duck pond near the school. This mini-beasts are very difficult to catch...

Bug Hunt - part 2

The search continues...

Bug Hunt

Very exciting: our first bug hunt! We are hopping to find butterflies, caterpillars and ladybugs. We found spiders, ants, slugs, snails, beetles and flies. They were all on our science table. At the end of the day, some children took these "new friends" home. Others, I had to let them go.
