Adventures with Nature

Learning about science doesn’t have to be just about doing experiments. It can be as simple as looking in the garden for bugs.

You could:

• take photos and try to identify the bugs from the photos.
• count legs
• look at colours
• draw the bugs
• compare the different places you find different bugs.

First we looked around,

and found our first bug!

Then we found a fly on an old frisbee.

Then there was much excitement over a bee!

Even very little people can join in.

Then we went on a bike ride to look further afield, and found a cow! This led to a long discussion about whether or not we could get milk from ‘ the things that dangled down’.

Children can have a brilliant time doing the simplest of activities, bug hunting was especially  great for me as all three children enjoyed it.
