We've spent a fascinating few weeks learning about the insect world. The project began with our two- to five-year-olds heading off on a bug hunt in the nursery garden. They explored under planks of wood and around plants and used magnifying glasses to closely examine their findings. The younger children had not used magnifying glasses before and found it strange looking at the magnified objects. Staff supported them when needed and helped them to hold the creatures carefully.
