ART

We have used paper and other materials such as buttons, sequins, pasta and googly eyes to create a stunning art piece of ourselves! we are very proud of our work and may display it at the show.. come and have a look at all of our work in the classroom.

THE HUNGRY CATERPILLARS!!

We have caterpillars! They are so hungry!! One of them has already turned into a chrysallis and there are two more eating up all the leaves at the moment on the swan plant. Look at the photo how this caterpillar latched itself onto a leaf, they are so clever. Come and have a look at our caterpillars with our magnifying glasses and watch them turn into beautiful butterflies!

..... Wow!! We were in class and saw the butterfly hatch from its chrysallis, it was so exciting! We couldn't believe how big it was, as it just sat calmly on the leaf drying its wings.

The next morning it jumped off onto the floor and after pumping its wings it was helped by Emma's mum to be released out the door! Go free Monnie Butterfly!
