On Wednesday Reception class went on a mini-beast safari to Gibside. Melanie took us to the chapel to see what mini-beasts we could find.
We used little pots to catch the mini-beasts. The pots had a magnifying glass on the top so we could see the features really clearly. There was lots of little ants hiding the cracks in the pavement.
We walked up the avenue towards the stables and found lots and lots of mini-beasts. Rohan kept a check of how many different mini-beasts we could find. There were just far too many flies to count.
On our way up the avenue we heard some baby birds chirping away. We looked carefully to see if we could find where their nest was. Can you spot it?
To find more mini-beasts we walked into the woodland area where we found hundreds. We were all very brave and picked up lots of different minibeasts like dragonflies, ladybirds, woodlice, millipedes and many more.
Can you see what is in the tub?
The final treat of the day was shaking the tree to see what fell out.
Lots of little creepy crawlies fell out. Why don't you try it at home to see what is living in your garden?
