Would you like to take part in The Great Bug Hunt 2020?
The challenge is pretty simple - go outside, equip the children with magnifying glasses (if you have them) and notepads, and point them at the nearest hedges, flower beds, trees, long grass, logs, stones, rocks... and let them explore and report back what they find.
The competition is divided up into four categories: Ages 4-5, 5-7, 7-9 and 9-11 .The entries might be a poster, a report, a video or even a podcast or poem! You could make it into a project – if they find a spider or woodlouse, find out all about it. We would love it if you could let your teachers know if you enter the competition and if you have a class blog, share your findings with each other too.
The closing date for entries is 12th June 2020.

Good luck and have fun outdoors!
Kind regards,
