Minibeasts Incursion

Children love exploring the garden in our MINIBEASTS incursion.

They will explore an imaginary garden learning about food sources, physical traits, camouflage, protective behaviour, predators and prey.

As Butterflies, Ladybirds, Dragonflies, Spiders, Slaters, Caterpillars, Worms and Grasshoppers they interact with each other in a garden environment.

Suitable for Foundation to Year 2.

Links to Literacy, Science as Human Endeavour & Science Understanding Strands.

“The Minibeasts incursion was fabulous. There was a lot of educational content about each of the minibeasts. It was very interactive and all students had the opportunity to dress up as two different minibeasts.”
