Butterfly larvae arrival! Lots of pictures!

It has been a busy week...
                        First of all this mysterious box arrived! 

Then we quickly had to get the butterfly larvae into their little containers and make sure they have enough food to grow into a chrysalis. Each child named their little creatures...'Ella' and 'Rose' seemed to be very popular! When the children return after the weekend, they won't believe how quickly these little guys will grow! They are eating machines!

Then of course we had to create some butterfly art! We created a fold on white paper and drew a design on one half using black pastel. Then we folded it to create a symmetrical imprint on the other half. After filling it in with colour, we used a toilet paper roll to secure it to our wrists, Then it was time to fly it around the room.                                 Lots of fun for a Friday :)

We are also getting the first of our Mr Men or Little Miss books done. They are looking good and the students love sharing them with each other!
