This term the Junior School have been looking at minibeasts!
Room 29 is full of budding entomologists!
We are always keeping our eyes peeled for different insects in our school.

Our discovery time has been all about bugs! We have discovered so many new facts already.
Take a look at what we have been exploring.
We have been using magnifying glasses to take a closer look at amazing minibeasts. We have been looking at their head, thorax and abdomen up close! Insects all have 6 legs.

Cael, Will, Delton, and Islay used Lego to make their own insects.
Lawson, Rico, Milla and Portia have been using play dough to make model insects.
We have learned that some insects, like the bee, use special ways to send messages to each other.
Horton reading group read all about how bees dance to tell one another where great places to find nectar are. They wiggle and move their abdomens in different ways to send different messages. Imagine if we had to dance to tell people our ideas!
The Round Dance
By Rico
Bees dance the round dance when food is within 25 metres of the hive.

It looks like Room 29 have caught the bug bug! Do you like digging for worms at lunch time like some of us do?! We loved everything seeing you have been learning and the photos. We have all been learning lots of interesting facts about minibeasts too. We are looking forward to the trip to Auckland Museum next week.
Wow that looks amazing. You have given Room 2 some great ideas for next week. Was so nice to see your photos.
You have given us the idea to try to make mini beasts with Lego :) from room 1
