Assessment: Sorting Insects and Spiders
The children had an opportunity to apply what they have learned by sorting a bag full of bugs according to our agreed criteria and I saw everyone succeed! While sorting the children had a new question "What do bugs eat?" We'll explore this next time!
Criteria:- insects: 6 legs and 3 body parts
- arachnids: 8 legs and 2 body parts
Spider Research
Yesterday the children had questions about spiders;
- Are they dangerous?
- Do they eat people?
- How many eyes do they have?
We researched on the internet and checked our findings with our knowledge. We learned that spiders can bite people but they don't eat people. We also learned that some spiders are harmless and some are dangerous. If you're interested yourself have a look at this website http://visual.ly/harmless-or-deadly-how-identify-common-house-spiders
Little Miss Muffet
The children made spider puppets and acted out the nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet, but first they had to decide if their spider was harmless or dangerous. Does Miss Muffet need to be frightened?
