Mini-beasts:
Overview There are many stories that children have heard about min-beasts. Some of them are true and others are just myths. We reveal some of the facts behind some of the most common myths. We also look at the various classes of mini-beast and find out all about them. Mini-beasts: A-B There are ants and bees with lots of photos and interesting facts. They are accompanied by bees, beetles, bugs and insects, and butterflies. Each section covers interesting facts and shows lots of photos that can be used in projects. Perhaps you can produce a sheet of mini-beast photos for children to search out in their gardens. |

Mini-beasts: C-F A favourite with children is the earthworm. They've seen and played with them in their gardens. They seem to love the slimy fee! There are others here too: flies and frogs, cockroaches and crickets. Lots to keep you minds active.. Mini-beasts: G-R Ladybirds are the mini-beast that children are most likely to have come across in this section. However they'll have heard of the others too. They can have great fun imitating the noise of a grasshopper or searching for moths with their parents at night. |

Mini-beasts: S-R This final section contains some of the animals people don't like - SPIDERS! Why not get children to collect them and bring them into school. Start a creepy collection and excite the children and perhaps remove some of the fear that often surrounds spiders. Alternatively why not collect some stick insects as classroom pets and learn all about them. |

We pick out interesting details about the
mini-beasts
and focus on things that children might have already have heard about.
This helps the children to feel at ease with the topic and so more
inclined to learn. For example:
We try hard to make sure the information covered is relevant and child friendly.

The pages in the mini-beast topic are filled with
helpful photographs and easy to read text. Pupils can click on all the
photographs. Clicking on the photo launches a new page (or browser tab)
which then shows a larger version of the photograph. The larger photos are great for building classroom displays or for undertaking classroom activities. A great way to use the site is to help pupils build cards about mini-beasts they might find in their environment. They can help to cut and paste photos onto cards that they can then take home (or into the school garden) to find mini-beasts.
