With some nicer weather this month, we spent a lot more time outside. The children were very keen minibeast detectives- naming them, looking for them in our garden, under flower pots etc. There were lots of opportunities for mathematical development- talking about their colours, counting their spots, looking for patterns- eg a stripy bee, a spotty ladybird, ladybirds being symmetrical. We also carried this into our indoor play- using paint, junk materials and dough to make minibeasts.
