We have been to Muddisdale on a hunt for mini-beasts. We found mini-beasts, looked at them closely with a magnifier, recorded what we had found and returned them back to where we had found them.
We enjoyed our mini-beast hunt.
Once we had looked at the mini-beasts we returned them back to where we found them!

We took clipboards and identification sheets so we could record what mini-beasts we found and where we found them.

For the last few weeks of term 3 the children will being learning about mini-beasts, local trees and wildflowers. Last week they started looking at mini-beasts. They had to sort pictures of mini-beasts into different groups. They worked really well together.
We worked well in groups to sort mini-beasts into different groups.

Our toy jaguar and jaguar adoption certificate came from the WWF this week. The money we have raised will go towards helping the WWF protect jaguars and their habitat. We are going to take it in turns to take the toy jaguar home with us.
We wanted to give our Jaguar a name so we all wrote a name on a piece of paper and put it in a hat. We then picked one out at random. The name we chose was 'Anago'.
We got to pat the guinea pigs. They were very shy and we had to be very gentle with them.
We enjoyed our visit from two little guinea pigs this week.
