Personal Project: Minibeasts Health and WellbeingWe are learning to recognise the different characteristics of a minibeast. We are learning to be grateful

Look back at the groupings for minibeasts that you found out about last week- arthropods, molluscs and annelids. Using a minibeast from one of the groupings create an information poster. Your poster should include the name of the minibeast, where it lives (habitat), what it eats (diet) and a description of what it looks like (appearance). Add any other interesting facts that you can find. Remember to include a sketch, drawing, picture or photograph of the minibeast. Challenge: Post your completed poster on Glow Teams to share with all of your friends.

We have many things to be grateful for in our lives. Print or draw the bubbles in your jotter and while colouring think of people and things that you are grateful for. Think of people now and in the past, especially those who helped during World War 2. Without them, we would not be able to celebrate V.E. Day.
