On the Move - Minibeasts!

Our topic this term is 'On the Move' and for this half term we are looking at different minibeasts. This week and next week we are learning about caterpillars and butterflies. We have enjoyed the story of 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'.



We made minibeasts out of play dough










We have our very own minibeasts in Nursery to take care of:


ants............



We have enjoyed watching the ants crawling around in their new home. We have been looking closely to see if they have started to dig tunnels. We fed the ants a tiny piece of apple. We have to feed them once a week.





We also have 5 caterpillars to look after. They are eating their food like the very hungry caterpillar did in the story and are growing bigger every day. In a few weeks time they will be beautiful butterflies.
