This term we are learning about minibeasts in Welsh. We have written dialogues in Welsh, between two minibeasts, using our understanding of personal details.
Butterfly Symmetry
We listened carefully to the meaning of the word symmetry. Then we discussed the different shapes and made our very own stained-glass window symmetrical butterflies.
Butterfly Symmetry!
The children enjoyed using their reading skills to follow instructions of how to make a symmetrical butterfly. They chose the shapes that they were going to use and cut them out carefully.
Well being Week
The children enjoyed a fantastic week of additional well-being activities with Miss Sally. They developed their cutting skills by creating beautiful caterpillars and collages of habitats; exercised by gardening, doing yoga, playing dodgeball and going on the bikes.
Bug Hotels
The butterfly from the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ was very impressed with our investigation skills from last week. He really liked our idea of making bug hotels for the minibeasts to live safely in, in our outdoor area.
We are very excited to see what minibeasts decide to live in our bug hotels.
Look at our amazing Bug Hotels…..
Researching Global Warming
We have been investigating what happens to our planet’s polar icecaps as the ozone layer gets thicker.
Can you talk about the conclusion of this investigation with your family?
The day the chicks visited us.
We all had a lovely time watching, listening to and cwtching the chicks when they came to visit us last week!
Bug Hotels
We have been learning about the habitats of different minibeasts and finding out where different minibeasts like to live. We then went out onto the field and made bug hotels using boxes, tubes and natural materials.
Butterfly Life-Cycle Dances
We have enjoyed the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar and have been learning how caterpillars change into butterflies. We created dances to show the life-cycle at each stage.
Minibeast Hunt
We put our exploring hats on and went on a minibeast hunt in our quad and school field. We found out where different minibeasts live and enjoyed exploring their micro-habitats.
