Dipping for watery creatures

Discovering an underwater world - this is the awe-inspiring, curiosity-building brilliance of pond dipping!

Year 1 had a fabulous trip to Arundel Wetland Centre. The children have been learning all about life cycles, minibeasts and plants and the wetland centre was the perfect place to experience these creatures up close and take part in lots of hands-on activities. The children went pond dipping, bug hunting and learnt about common invertebrates that live in a wetland area. We were very lucky to have sunny weather and the children thoroughly enjoyed investigating and hunting for creatures.
