Creepy Crawlies may put you off but not our little
upper preppies! They began their adventurous journey of insect land with a trip to Shantivan, they enjoyed running after them in their natural habitat,
including finding them outside their very own class. They learnt
about different insects, their parts and life cycles, and were
fascinated with a magnified view of them through a microscope and bug
viewers. It was an enriching experience to watch a bee hive or even
making an ant hill as a group activity. They also used different art
textures and made collages whether it was insects at a picnic or at
the dining table…
They completely loved creating their own insects out of pieces of
scrap material such as bottles, paper bags and recycled them to create their
very own insects.
Not to
forget the fun with food activity where they made chocolate
cockroaches and ladybirds and relished the
delicacies.
It was overall
a joyful and memorable experience for both the children and teachers
hoping to have removed their fears of bugs, if any...
