Insect investigation within Rhona Day Kindergarten environment

Through integrating the investigation of insects tamariki can deepen their understanding of nature, develop valuable skills, and form meaningful connections with the world around them.

Learning about insects

 Creating a bug house outside out of an old log sparked an interest in insects - who might live in our bug house?

 Their curiosity is fostered and their capacity for sustained interests extended through suitable books

 Tamariki are encouraged to notice and describe

 They are developing knowledge about the patterns and diversity found in the natural world

 Tamariki are encouraged to use a magnifying glass to see things from different spatial viewpoints and search for details
