Year 4 Mini-beasts

Year 4 have been studying mini-beasts. During this unit, they made predictions about a range of mini-beasts that may live around the school. They then went on a hunt to collect data from the football pitch, playground and backlands. The pupils discovered a range of mini-beasts in their habitat: in soil, on leaves and on tree trunks. Children then presented data and evaluated their predictions.
