Starcross Primary School

'Creepy Crawly Creatures'

Reception Class age 4-5 years old

The children made the insects using plastic bottles, colourful carrier bags, wire and beads. All the materials were recycled.

Jenny Archer who ran the insect making workshops, asked the children why they thought insects were imoportant.

"bee's make honey which tastes nice" said one child
"insects are fun to watch" said another

We discussed why insects are an important part of living creatures and how everything on earth works together as a team.
