God made you and God made me,
He made the world for us to see.
God loves you and long ago,
He sent his Son to tell us so.
Jesus showed us many things,
To love and share and dance and sing.
To learn and pray, to help and care,
He promised he'd always be there.
He died but then came back to life,
Let's celebrate for he's alive!
Amen.

What do minibeasts like to eat? We thought about this question and recorded our ideas. We left them in our garden and checked each day to see which food had been eaten.
Using our new knowledge of different minibeasts we have created minibeast families by painting different sized pebbles.
We have created a wormery and looked at the things worms need to survive. We will care for the worms for the next few days. We are enjoying this new responsibility
