Ready for take off!

Our butterfly fluttered across our classroom and landed on this window sill. What do you think it is thinking about?

"It's a miracle!" "This is the best day of my life!"

What had our children saying these fabulous things????

Our first butterfly!

Check out the photos of our first Monarch butterfly emerging from it's chrysalis. (You can click on the photos to see them bigger.)

We knew it wouldn't be long when we saw the chrysalis turn from green to a black colour.

                                   

 Look at the butterfly's wings drying out and taking shape.

                         

Someone suggested we record what was happening in our diaries. We all jumped up and started writing down what we saw. 

Some people sketched a picture to show what they saw. 

We marked it as a special memory on our timeline. 

 

   

We are so glad that the chrysalis opened while we were in class so we could watch it happen. 

Have you seen a butterfly emerge from chrysalis before? 

What did you think? 

Do you have any questions for us to answer?

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Monarch Mayhem!

Sam G brought a swan plant to school. We have been eagerly watching the caterpillars get bigger and bigger! We have watched some turn into chrysalis. We are watching closely to see what will happen next!
Some children are writing what they see each day in their diaries at writing time. We will keep you updated on their progress.
Have you seen a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis?

Welcome back!

Tate's HUMONGOUS christmas tree!

Tate emailed me this picture of his HUMONGOUS Christmas tree. It must have taken a long time to cover it in all those decorations!

Have you put up your tree yet?
Do you put a star or an angel on top?

Junior A team in Action!

Check out these pictures of members of our fantastic junior A team running a tennis activity for the junior children. They made posters and organised the children in to teams. I was very impressed with their organisation and leadership skills!
