Bug Hunting

For taku time this week room 10 took part in a bug hunt around the school. The students have been particularly interested in bugs for the past few weeks so we collected together some containers and magnifying glasses to find out a bit more.

First we watched a clip on youtube that discussed the differences between some of the bug subgroups - insects and arachnids.



The students were able to explain the differences between the two groups and we decided to go out into the playground to see if we could find any insects or arachnids.

 

The children had a great time looking for bugs outside and we were able to find a lot of different things. The most exciting find was a big weta, but he didn't seem excited about being found!
