Synopsis: Children love the noisy sound words and looking at the colourful pictures, as they discover all sorts of minibeasts. Following on from this, we read our book of the week and let the children choose a minibeast to make for themselves using the various hand tools at their disposal. We also talked about having the correct protective clothing when using each tool such as googles or safety gloves.Minibeasts are small creatures that can be found in many different environments and they play a big part in habitat biodiversity. A wide range of fully differentiated resources and planning around the popular book “Mad about Minibeasts”. Rhyming text and vibrant full-page illustrations make this marvellous picture book perfect for reading aloud. On second listening, encourage the children to retell the story using the props to help with the story sequence.
