Last week children designed mini beast trap-boxes with sweet food inside to trap animals. This week children took their traps over to Calthrope Haven and placed them
there for a day.
Killer Questions:
How are they going to get in?
How is it going to be positioned?
Is anything going to be inside? (sweet)
What do you think will happen?
Last week children created their own data collection sheet in ICT. Today children went over to Calthorpe to explore mini beasts
in their natural environment.Whilst the children were exploring they were also collecting tallies on their chart to show what mini beasts they have seen.
Children participated in a “carousel of activities” to find out all about ants.
Children also created a printed picture of an owl by using a variety of materials and objects.
