I have prepared a tick sheet for children to use as they walk around the school inside and outside listening for sounds they hear. They can also add other sounds they hear. You will need to read through the list before setting off. Part of the science topic on sound. I have now updated the tick sheet with pictures and in MS Word and PDF Format. Hope this resource is useful.

This is a minibeast science topic that can also be used in maths for presenting data in a block graph. Feel free to adapt worksheets. Pictures of minibeasts obtained from the kidspuzzlesandgames website, pixabay public domain images and clipart. Thank you for visiting my shop:)
