Our Minibeast Foldables

We have been investigating insects and arachnids (spiders).

We have made some foldable books showing all our hard work.

Inside our foldable books you will find:

We made books showing the life cycle of the butterfly and the ladybug.
We labelled a diagram of a fly.
We worked on a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting spiders and insects.
We had half a dragonfly and drew the other half for symmetrical drawing.
We asked questions during our study and researched the answers. Then we made a butterfly card and glued in our interesting questions and answers (please excuse Mrs Griffin's spelling mistakes because she was rushing and didn't check her work).
Finally we had a Jar of Bugs - we thought of all the bugs we knew and wrote the names in our jar.
