The Transformation

We are so lucky! Over the past two days we have got to see the transformation of a caterpillar into a chrysalis! We were looking at the caterpillar and then we got back to the work we were doing. About 15 minutes later we heard an excited cheer from Room 3. That same caterpillar was in the process of turning into a chrysalis! AMAZING! We looked this morning and it has now fully developed. Now to wait for butterfly number 2! Here are some photos we took! Have a look and see if you can spot the changes!

Our special visitor.



Today something special is going on next door. A beautiful butterfly cracked the chrysalis it was living in.We watched it when it first came out. Now it is learning how to use its wings. We think he is feeling a little bit scared because before he was a caterpillar and now he has amazing wings that he has to learn how to use. When he has dried his wings he will be off on his next adventure. 

Thank you to Room 3 for sharing their butterfly with us!

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles!

It has been such beautiful weather lately so we have been making the most of it every morning. We have been running, walking, hopping and skipping about to help us stay fit and strong. Last week while we went for our walk we put on our discovering eyes and looked at some bubbles. We thought about the journey that they went on from when they formed to when they popped!

Being successful learners

We have been talking about what it means to be a successful learner in Room 4.
As a class we talked about how we could make sure that we were ready to learn everyday.Here are the awesome ideas that we came up with.














Welcome to 2014

Welcome to 2014!

We have made a great start, so we thought we should share some of our learning with you all at home too!
Please take the time to sit with your child and look at and comment on their work. They all should be very proud of their learning so far this term.
