The children explored the Viking Woods during their minibeast hunt and discovered the remains of Thor’s hammer hidden amongst the trees. They learnt about woodland habitats and discussed why woods are important places for animals to find food, shelter and safety. The children talked about the different animals that live in the woods, including deer, foxes, squirrels, hedgehogs, mice, rabbits, birds, badgers and moles. During the minibeast hunt, they learnt that invertebrates are animals without bones and that insects always have six legs. They also discovered that centipedes and millipedes have many legs. As they searched carefully through the woodland, the children found a variety of minibeasts including woodlice, slugs, beetles, spiders and a millipede.
