Minibeasts Hunt

Rang a Trí agus Ceathair enjoyed finding some creepy crawlies in a minibeast hunt around the school!

We have been enjoying observing and learning about all the nature that surrounds us in our locality. We enjoyed our Mini-beast Hunt around the school grounds collecting and examining some of the different mini-beasts that exist in our hedgerow habitat. We had great fun searching for the mini-beasts and seeing all the different types that the various groups found. We also created our own mini-beasts Fact Files and made our own mini-beast display for in our classroom.
