An Ant Nest

Today we red through a great little book from National Geographic on ants called All About Ants, it was interesting! In this book we focused on their homes, how they work and how they look. We also looked through some other books for examples. Holly then described to me an ants nest and set off to draw one out.

She was sure to include the various chambers for food, eggs, sleeping and the queen ant. Holly actually did two different drawings until she was happy with the final product. She then sat down and walked me through her nest, how it was laid out and where the various chambers were. It turned out fantastic!
