Hedgehogs' Wow Starter_Spring Term

Lesson: Science

Class: Hedgehogs (Year 1/2) Year: 2022 - 2023

Our Wow Starter for our Minibeasts Study Theme

We began our new study theme searching for minibeasts in our woodland.  We found worms, spiders, a centipede and a woodlouse.  But then came Dave...

Dave brought a whole host of minibeasts for a truly 'creepy crawly' show.  We met Charlie the Hissing Cocroach; Millie, the Giant African Millipede; Rosie the Chile Rose Tarantula; Finando the Black Beauty Stick Insect and Pricilla the Flat Rock Scorpian.  They were all very sociable.  We even 'high fived' the tarantula and shock hands with the scorpian!

We later met some animals which like to eat the minibeasts, like Leonardo de Geko the Geko, Hooter the Barn Owl and Tina the Tenrec.

Finally we met some animals further up the food chain - some snakes.

We throroughly enjoyed our visitors today and are looking forward to learning lots more about these amazing creatures.
