INSECT HUNTING 10 - BEST MOMENTS VIDEO

We have some fun sometimes with the videos, it's good to have a break :-)

HALLOWEEN SCARECROW, PROTECTOR OF OUR HEALTHY GREEN FOOD

Taking advantage of the current dates and the fact that kids love Halloween and scary adventures, we decided to prepare a different experience for our Science lesson. Thanks to Maykel and his amazing fancy dresses an orange Scarecrow paid a visit to our Y1 Science classroom.

Previously we had been working on which aliments come from plants and vegetables and which from animals. During this activity pupils by tables had to discuss if the photo they had been given should be attached to the Scarecrow as the guardian and protector of this food or not. The printed items were carrots, lettuce, milk, cheese and watermelon.

Have you spotted many of these beetles lately?

This little and apparently insignificant insect it's in fact a really BAD BOY for our local trees and forests, do you know why?

INSECT HUNTING 8

Kids are amazing ! Without giving any instruction or even mention to go insect hunting some kids have improved their natural talent to observe and interact with the environment. They were capable to capture two praying mantis and place them  in a bucket, where the others pupils could see them. Please note that after having a close look, mantis were safely released from the buckets.

As mentioned in previous post, now its mantis time many have been spotted in the school playground areas, in this new episode of insect hunting 3 praying mantis were seen.

Also we have found a red spider
