Plants and their Habitats (A Guided Tour)

Just like us, plants need a home that can provide food and shelter. Plant habitats are diverse – they include gardens, forests, ponds and even deserts.

NewStorytelling: The Very Ugly Bug

There once was a very ugly bug, with spotted legs, googly eyes and a hairy back. She wonders why her friends have pretty small eyes, shiny green backs, or nice fluttery wings. The ugly bug thought that if she looked like her friends, then she would be more beautiful. So she made herself a disguise. But her new costume made her even tastier looking to the birds!

Join us for a fun-filled session to find out what happens to the very ugly bug in this story about self-acceptance by Liz Pichon.
