We have enjoyed searching our garden for minibeasts, checking them off on the list! We loved messy play in the soil, using magnifying glasses and tweezers to find the minibeasts! To test out knowledge we organised the insects into legs and no legs categories. We have developed our number skills by giving the keyboards the right amount of spots!
We have had a lovely sunny week!🌞

It’s buzz week for our theme of mini beasts in Toddlers.
We have done lots of painting, playdough and collage activities to make our own bee. We also enjoy playing in the honey coloured water and used the pots and spoons to make honey for the bees. We have used the tweezers to pick up different items on the tray and then pretending that they are bee’s.
Outside we saw some bee’s flying around and then we ran round the garden, flapping our arms pretending that we were a bee.
