As we continue learning about caterpillars, this morning during group time, we spent some time learning some facts about caterpillars. Did you know caterpillars have 6 pairs of eyes? Shaziah shouted out loud.
During our group time, we did a bit of reflection on what we had been learning for the past few weeks. It was amazing to hear our little friends sharing their memories with others. After the reflection, we all got ready for nature exploration. We got our hats, put on our safety vests and sunscreen, and got all ready to go out in the wild for some bug/insect hunting.
As we walked down to the bush, we saw so many ant huts in the middle of the footpaths. Once we arrived at the park, we got our magnifying glasses out and got onto hunting. Our first hunt, ants. Dorothea called out to Miss Nisha with a big smile and said, "Look, Miss Nisha, there are so many ants here." We spent some time understanding what the ants were trying to do. Where were they coming from and where were they going? We followed a few of them and learnt that they made their huts underground. They had a tiny hole for them to get in and out from.
Our second hunt, spiders. Miss Jacynta found 2 spiders, and the children were thrilled to see the spiders. We used our magnifying glass to look at the spiders up close. Elijah was excited to spot the eyes of the spider through the magnifying glass. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any other bugs or insects. But we had the best time hunting for them. We all worked in groups throughout, helping each other.
