Ladybirds and Ugly Bugs
Pupils in Primary 2 children enjoyed a very informative visit to Queen's Park towards the end of term, as they took part in a national survey on ladybirds.
The children searched long and hard for ladybirds. Once a ladybird was found they had to identify them and log the information on a chart. When they got back to their classrooms the children sent the data to the UK Ladybird Survey website. "We found lots of ladybird larvae", says teacher Mrs Clarke, "and even some ladybird eggs underneath a leaf."
Some of the pupils then dressed as ladybirds for the P2 Ugly Bug Ball, while others were bumblebees, dragonflies and beetles.
They weren't ugly at all!
