Exciting News!!!

Today when we arrived at school the big caterpillar called Green had started turning brown, he looked shorter and fatter.  Green had also started weaving something that looked like a web.  We think Green is turning into a cocoon.

The smallest caterpillar who we have called Piranel is still growing.  She still looks green and she is smaller than Green was.

Today we have had some caterpillar eggs delivered by S.K. they are from the same tree at her house.

We look forward to seeing what happens to each of the caterpillars.

If you know anything about these caterpillars please leave us a comment.

Here are some photos of what they look like.

We're Back!!!!!

We have had a busy couple of weeks back at school!  So far we are having lots of fun.  At the moment we are learning to write blog entries and we are writing this together as a class.  Here are some things that we have been learning about lately.


*  Art:  We made a mould of our hand prints and made plaster hands for the wall.  We still need to put these up. We have also done some amazing self portraits of our faces.


*  Measurement:  We have been learning how to measure the length and height of things. Today we started learning how to measure the area of a shape.


*  Writing:  We have been learning to write about our own adventures using interesting words.  We wrote a story about our Kilbirnie School picnic at the park.


We have  been having swimming lessons down at our local pool.  It has been a busy time getting to know each other and sharing our wonderful skills with everyone.


One more piece of exciting news from Room 5.  Today we had some visiting caterpillars from S.K. and her mum.  They are eucalyptus caterpillars and they are very BIG!  We will keep you updated about their time in Room 5.
