First, we read a big book called Stick Insects by Dawn McMillan.
After reading the book we complete lots of different activities.
For 1 activity we did our own drawing of a stick insect and labeled all the different parts.
Here are the keywords we used:
- antennae (feelers)
- thorax
- abdomen
- legs
- head
We then looked at the life cycle of a stick insect. We learnt some big words such as
antennae
camouflage
nymph
moulting
Using all our learning we then made stick insects using real sticks. We had to think about all the different parts of a stick insect and how stick insects camouflage.
Check out our camouflaged stick insects:
