Lesson 13b - I am Thankful for insects.

Well today was a fun one.

We got straight into the lesson because I had to leave halfway through to be the companion for a district speaking assignment and I didn't want not to teach this lesson.

We had a look at the basket of big bugs we have and located different parts of the bugs - the eyes, wings, body, how many legs, colours - things that were the same and things are different.

We then moved onto the bug puzzle that I made from these pictures. I cut each bug out and then cut them further into 3 pieces. The children then had to locate the pieces for each bug and put them together.


After these activities we made the ladybugs - taking the templates, the children had to match the cut out pieces and stick them onto the shapes of the template using a glue stick. They did really well, and we only had three in the class so we were able to help quite a bit. The sunbeams template already had the ladybugs legs and antanae already coloured in to reduce the time and workload of both cutting out and the actual doing of the activity.
