We had lots of fun at Bug Club on Sunday searching for bugs in St Andrew's churchyard.Local nature photographer Rosey came to show us her insect photos and gave us hints how to take our own photos - including being quiet so not to scare them! The children did very well. Here's a selection of the creatures we found. These photos by our Children's and Families Minister Sarah.
