Can you wriggle like a worm? Can you fly like a butterfly? Can you crawl like a spider? We can do all of these things in Reception! The children have gotten their hands dirty, digging around for minibeasts, and learning about these interesting little critters.
Through art, stories, movement and sharing what we already know, the children have enjoyed this exploratory and hands on topic.
The children have even had a go at writing a sentence about their favourite minibeast.
They have learned about what makes a minibeast special and why they are so important for our environment.

This term, Year 2 have been learning about many interesting people in our ‘What makes someone inspirational?' Topic. They have explored space pioneers, technology forerunners, civil right activists, inventors and many other inspiring individuals.
