Hi - we have 4 african land snails which we got during the spring term last year - they have been a great addition to our setting, provoking lots of questions, language & interest from our children. i was just wondering if anybody could advise me on what to expect through the winter months - do they hibernate? Ours seem to have become very inactive in the last couple of weeks - what experiences do other foorum members have of this - any advice would be greatly appreciated - our minibeasts topic is coming up agan soon - they need to survive as they are an integral part of thsi (also - if i am truthful i have become very attached to them-sad isn't it!!!) Thanks for any…

Dear all, I've just got a temporary job until half term teaching reception. Firstly, I have never taught reception before (only year 1 and year 2) so this will be quite new and I'm not quite sure how to plan the topic for this half term: minibeasts. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sue

Hello! Am doing a lesson on minibeasts next week and would like to take a selection of them into class. Just a couple of things though - do I need to do a risk assessment for this and are there any guidelines as to what they need to be in somewhere that I have to follow? Also, other than looking in my garden, is there anywhere I can get them alive? Apologies the mind has gone blank this morning - again!!!! Thank you L PS Just contacted Insect Lore and have to wait at least a couple of weeks!

Hi, the theme at the minute is - All Creatures Great and Small. As part of my placement I have to enhance an area of provision - I have chosen the outside area although I'm struggling for ideas.

Also I was going to get some different coloured chalk and alow the children to draw minibeasts, there will also be some feely boxes with plastic insects in - have to guess and pick the correct flashcard. …
