EYFS Mini beasts bugs insects home learning topic project early years minibeasts bugs

(0)
Mini beast (bugs, insects) themed home learning tasks for Nursery or Reception (Early Years) There are a total of 18 activities that can easily be done at home split over two sheets. I ask children to select 3 per week to complete but you could suggest more. Activities are practical using items children will have at home. There are key questions to guide parents delivering the activities at home. The activities are topic based. They cover all areas of the EYFS curriculum. There are art projects, research ideas, movement, imaginative etc. There are a couple of stand alone phonics/ maths activities and these subjects are addressed in other activities e.g. where writing, stories, patterns are involved. Originally made for Covid school/ bubble closures and where children were asked to complete 3 tasks a week, however, it could be easily used as a half termly or termly home learning sheet where children complete one task a week or similar. This can also be used as a basis for activity planning for the topic or used by support or cover staff.

Activities are colour coded for differentiation. Slides should be printed and used as challenge cards- I lamiate and put them around for children/staff to access. Children can access different levels of differentiation by using the colour coding and finding their name on a coloured grid.
