Over the last few weeks, we have been working so hard on writing short stories which we put together to publish our very own class book! Our book is called "A Collection of Stories by First Class." We are all amazing authors and illustrators in Room 1!
This week is also very exciting for us as we are learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly. Today our caterpillars arrived! We cannot wait to watch them transform into beautiful painted lady butterflies. There are four stages in the life cycle which are;
1.Eggs- Butterflies lay their eggs on a leaf or a stem of a plant.
2.Caterpillars- Caterpillars hatch from their egg and they are very hungry! Their main job is to eat lots of plants and leaves. This reminded us of one of our favourite stories "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle.
3.Chrysalis- When a caterpillar is full, they make a cocoon for themselves using their silk.
4.Butterflies- Caterpillar transforms while in the chrysalis and turns into a beautiful butterfly.
