our Minibeast hunt

5/31/2013

We went on our Minibeast hunt. We looked in the school garden and under rocks to find minibeasts. We carefully caught them in our jars and used our magnifying glasses to look at them closely. We looked at how the different minibeasts move. Then we carefully put the minibeasts back into the grass.

Some boys brought in their favourite toys.

We made a giant caterpillar. Every boy painted a paper plate. Every part of the caterpillar is different. We made butterflies from coffee filter paper. We read the story 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle.

We are going on a Minibeast hunt soon.
