Sudbury Primary School

Wriggle and Crawl

Put on your coat and wellies and let’s head outside on a mini-beast hunt!

This term, you’ll head outside to identify mini-beasts in their natural habitat. You’ll make an information book for other children to use on a mini-beast hunt.  Heading out into a local green space, you’ll explore trees and bushes, lifting up stones and logs to see what lives there.

At the end of our project, you will get the chance to share your knowledge within your group.  You will use scientific vocabulary to explain what you have learnt and include your artwork in your information book.

Help your child prepare for their project:

Mini-beasts are fascinating.  Look out for different mini-beasts, take some photos and research the mini-beasts on the internet.  Ants, spiders, snails, slugs, woodlice and worms are all amazing to see and study; how many can you find!
