on their walk? What is the biggest/smallest? Using a bug catcher (jar with holes in the lid),

investigate the characteristics of some minibeasts. Ideas: • make a group of bugs with wings

make a group of bugs with shells • make a group of bugs with/without legs • make a group of bugs with fur or hair. The results can be recorded pictorially .

Look out for animal homes — e.g. nests, under stones and leaves for minibeasts.

Have children predict where they might find minibeasts — on leaves/flowers, in grass, under/on trees, near/on a wall etc. Check these out.

Examine and identify the minibeasts. Note how they move.

Is there any evidence about what they eat? Encourage children to always return creatures safely to

their natural environment What a Wonderful World - page 56 Mini Beasts
