This week in Understanding of the world the children have been bug explorers. The children used a range of equipment like magnifying glasses and bug catchers to explore our outdoor area to see what creepy crawlies they could find. The children loved to explore with the different equipment and also enjoyed looking at all the bugs we found such as worms, woodlouse, beetles, flies, spiders, slugs and snails.

Bug exploring in EYFS is a fantastic way to engage young children with the natural world and supports a wide range of developmental areas. It fosters curiosity, observation skills, language development, physical skills, and an understanding of living things and their habitats.
