Beast Creator

Learning theme for Y5 & Y6 (summer 1 1415)

A bug, a creepy crawly, a beast! He’ll tickle your skins then go in for the sting!

Arachnids, invertebrates, molluscs and myriapods, hiding in the nooks and beneath darkened rocks … come and each for these mini beasts, and let’s sort them out! How many legs? How many wings? Who does it eat and who eats it? Can you classify it?

Can you draw or make it?

Can you build a bug hotel or a wonderful wormery – then watch them wriggle and burrow, mining earth as they go!

Discover where in the world you’ll find the deadliest beats – scorpions, ants and venomous spiders … perhaps the Vespa mandarina japonica is the one that you fear?

Why not become a beat creator? Selectively breed a predator that saves the world from a super strong aphid.

You’ll be a hero!
