This A4 colourful chart is designed to enable children (from age 5 upwards) and beginners to identify the invertebrates commonly found in a garden or outdoor space. The simple flow chart on this guide shows representatives of the main groups found in a garden or outdoor space. These include animals with no legs, such as snails, slugs, earthworms, roundworms, insect and larvae. Plus the animals with jointed legs, such as crustaceans, insects, spiders and mites. The most simple ID key I’ve ever come across!

Continuous provision planning, including SHREC approach, photos, skills and prime area coverage,

Children have to read the clues to match the pictures up, easy and harder levels for differentiation

The rest of the class can pretend to crawl, fly, or move like the animals they represent.) Child 3 (wearing a bee headband or holding a bee prop): I’m a bee! I buzz around flowers, collecting pollen to make honey. Bees help plants grow by spreading pollen everywhere. Child 4 (wearing a ladybird headband or holding a ladybird prop): I’m a ladybird! I eat aphids, which helps keep plants healthy. Child 5 (wearing a caterpillar costume or holding a caterpillar prop): I’m a caterpillar! I munch on leaves, and soon I will turn into a beautiful butterfly! Child 6 (wearing a butterfly costume or holding a butterfly prop): I’m a butterfly! I help pollinate flowers, just like my friend the bee. Child 7 (holding a snail shell or wearing a snail costume): I’m a snail! I move slowly and leave a shiny trail behind me. I like to munch on leaves and plants. Child 8 (wearing a spider costume or holding a toy spider): I’m a spider! I spin webs to catch insects, and I keep things clean by eating pests. (The children can pretend to buzz, crawl, or flutter as they speak, showing the different minibeasts in action.) Perfect for school events, this script makes learning about the past an exciting adventure!

This unit looks at minibeasts and may be useful either prior to embarking on work of a practical nature or after a practical session collecting and observing bugs. This activity should not replace the practical task of collecting bugs. The thrill pupils have in first hand observations of live creatures cannot be replicated on a whiteboard screen. Using the resources in this pack, pupils will learn about: * different kinds of animals in the local environment * that animals can be grouped according to observable similarities and differences
