A Counting Outing (home learning)

EYLF Learning Outcomes

Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world

Outcome 4: Children are involved and confident learners

Safety advice: If you are unsure about the type of insect you have found, investigate with your eyes rather than your hands.
