A mini-beast week!

We have had another exciting week in Class 2! 
We coloured, cut out and made mini-beast masks and we played with giant plastic mini-beasts in our pretend indoor garden. 
We went on a mini-beast adventure where we collected mini-beasts and looked at them very closely. We found so many different types of mini-beasts and then we put them all back safely where we had found them. 
On Thursday we found a baby caterpillar on our carpet! We all had a good look at how it moved and then put him back safely on a leaf in our nature reserve. 
We have also been reading 'The hungry caterpillar' and have been writing and re-telling the story.
What a busy week!

Our new topic!

We have been learning about about 'Teeny Tiny Mini-Beasts'. We went on a hunt around the school and we used a mini iPad to take photographs and to zoom in on they mini-beasts. We could see so much detail! Back in class we used magnifiers and the pictures of the mini-beasts to try and draw them. The pictures were great! 
Also this week we have crawled and scurried around to mini-beast music and we programmed our  fantastic Beebots with directional instructions!
