P4A Minibeast Hunt

11th Jun 2026

As part of our World Around Us topic, P4A headed outdoors this week to explore the wonderful world of minibeasts! Armed with magnifying glasses and lots of curiosity, the children set off on a hunt around the school grounds. The pupils carefully searched under leaves, logs, and stones, discovering a fascinating variety of tiny creatures. From worms and ants to snails and ladybirds, there was so much excitement with every new find! The children thoroughly enjoyed becoming young explorers and scientists for the day, asking thoughtful questions and sharing their discoveries with one another. It was a fantastic, hands-on learning experience that really brought our topic to life!
