1 week ago Posted on 01st May 2026 by Mrs Giordano Crazy about mini beast This week’s activities and lesson plan have focused on our wonderful “minibeasts” topic. We began by revisiting and recalling what we have previously learned, helping to strengthen the children’s understanding and confidence. The children have enjoyed manipulating a wide range of materials to design and create their own insects. They explored pattern-making using natural resources such as leaves, sticks, and stones, as well as using recycled materials to build and mould imaginative minibeast models. These activities supported their creativity, fine motor skills, and problem-solving abilities while encouraging them to think about the features and characteristics of different insects.
