This week we focused on an amazing social minibeast; the ant. We looked at how to spot the difference between the queen, the drones and the workers and talked about how they all work together in a colony.

We enjoyed a creative week counting and cutting out three body parts; head, thorax and abdomen, to make our own ants and created triangle works of art.

Under the stairs our nook became the perfect place for a picnic. The hamper was filled with delicious food and bottles of juice which the children enjoyed, as too the finger puppet ants!

In the letter room the children explored the world of insects and as they flew over and scuttled through the soil, logs and plants.
