• P5 Investiagte Bugs

  Tue 01 Oct 2019

  P5 have been learning lots about all the different types of bugs. They have research information and wrote about bugs, as well as doing marvellous minibeast artwork. However, the highlight has been going to Mount Stewart to find living bugs! When at Mount Stewart they went on a minibeast hunt, did pond dipping and got to make their own imaginary minibeasts out of natural materials from the forest.
