This term, Reception class have begun learning all about minibeasts! We have been learning about life cycles, habitats and which minibeasts we have here at school! In order to find out which minibeasts live at Our Ladys, Reception Class went on a minibeast hunt! We looked in the gardens, under rocks, in the trees (where we spotted a cocoon) and in the Tree Trail. This term, Reception children will also have the opportunity to observe the life cycle of a caterpillar by hatching their own class butterflies, which is very exciting!
