Bug safari

The pupils took advantage of the cracking weather last week to go out and explore their local woodland for pollinators and other minibeasts looking to take advantage of the warmth. They found lots of amazing minibeasts - such as the bronze carabid pictured that was nearly the size of a thumb. The pupils also saw the first bumblebee queens of the year. they were even treated to the site of a butterfly ! The pupils got their bug pots out and went exploring - taking great care to return everything back to its rightful place when finished identifying. The pupils then went back to their school ground and acted out the minibeasts that they found in an elaborate game of charades!
