What makes an insect?

 Today, we explored the wonderful world of insects. Thinking like scientists, we grouped insects from other animals by looking at their body parts.  What do insects have? 6 legs, antennae, head, thorax and an abdomen. We looked at picture cards of insects to identify the parts.

In pairs we used magnifying glasses to go on an insect hunt in the mara.  We carefully observed the mini beasts we found to see if they were insects.  It was so much fun!

Lastly we created our own paper insects.
