Reception have worked with teachers this week to create many different minibeast homes. They thought carefully about what these creatures need to survive and thrive and edited where appropriate.

Children built homes out of junk materials, plastic straws and connectors, large construction in the outdoor classroom and also worked hard to create our permanent feature - Bug Hotel.

Reception children were also able to have close encounters with a real caterpillar pupa as well as some very busy grasshopers. Ask your child what creatures they have seen at school - butterflies? caterpillars? ladybirds? worms?
