Polliwog Thursdays: bugs up close

This week, the Polliwogs examined bugs, up close and personal.

​We wondered whether the rainy days may have sent the bugs into hiding.

We walked through the meadow, and found bugs on leaves, flowers and in the tall grass. It was quite an adventure to walk through grass as tall as Polliwogs!

​Here are some of the bugs and mini-beasts that we saw:​

• grasshopper
• cricket
• milkweed beetle 
• snails (lots of them!)
• stink bug 
• lady bug

​While the children ate their snacks, we read The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle.

​We finished our morning make bugs out of clay and toothpicks, representing what we had experienced that morning.
