Wiggly Worm Hunt!

What a wet Wellie Wednesday it was this week but it didn't dampen our spirits! We still managed to have lots of fun in the rain!
This week we were thinking about how all the birds are getting on with their nest building and talking about how the adult birds have to feed the chicks lots of minibeasts to keep them healthy. We talked about how birds like worms and that little chicks need to eat 1/3 of their own weight a day of them!

The teachers hid lots of pipe cleaner worms around our Forest School area and the children pretended to be adult birds and search for them! It was easy to spot the red and purple worms but difficult to find the brown and green ones. We talked about how lots of minibeasts are camouflaged and difficult to spot so animals don't eat them.
