Grab your coat and pooter – we’re going out and about on a minibeast hunt. Dig a hole and lift up logs to see who’s home. Then set up a minibeast laboratory and observe their every move. Add notes and labels and ask research questions, just like a real entomologist. Learn about bees and worms and butterflies too. Can you make a food chain to show who eats who? Carry out investigations to find out more, like how far a snail travels in a day and how a spider catches its prey. Then get set to learn about camouflage and design a minibeast that will blend in to your chosen setting! On your belly, legs at the ready, it’s time to wriggle and crawl!
We took part in a class investigation to see if mini-beasts have a favourite colour!
Why not do some of your own research about Minibeasts? Watch these videos to help learn all about our new topic 'Wriggle and Crawl'.
