'Wiggle and Crawl' topic launch

Today we launched our new topic:

WIGGLE AND CRAWL


We had a visit from some Mini Monsters and completed a bug hunt in the school grounds.

First up was Gary and Fernando the Giant African Land Snails. They were very slimy!

They have tentacles in their head and hide in their shell when scared. They just have 1 foot.

Next, we met Mildred who has LOTS of legs, 250 to be precise. We also found out the she doesn't move very quickly and let's out 'stinky juice' when predators arrive.









After that, it was everyone's favourite - Winston the Bearded Dragon. He was very cute!

Winston has 'spikes' on him and puffs himself up when predators are around. However, when we touched him we found out that his spikes aren't really sharp.

He's very friendly and always looks like he is smiling.

Last, but not least, we met Taco the Corn Snake.

She was very sneaky and kept trying to go up Ed's shirt.

She eats mice and sheds her skin.

 After meeting big mini-beasts we went in search of our own.

We found; millipedes, centipedes, slugs, woodlice, worms, beetles and snails.
