Hi all, Caspian is back.

- They are herbivores.
- They can camouflage into sticks.
- You can tell species apart by the size of their antennae.
- They are food in many countries.
- They damage many crops.
- They can jump twenty times their own body height.
- There are 11000 species of grasshopper around the world.

I haven’t written many blogs this week because, well you know… but I have got my mojo back today so have been doing a bit of catch up. I have done some maths. I have been learning about antonyms and synonyms, and providing examples. I have also been working on piggy illustrations based on Doctor Who. We are making some windchimes later.
Good luck in your new school Jack. I’m sorry I haven’t done any pictures.
Great to see you back on the blog Caspian! Very interesting grasshopper facts. Your Doctor Who Piggy illustrations are cool! Looking forward to seeing your wind chimes – that sounds like a fun activity!
Fantastic facts Caspian- I’ve heard lots recently too! Great drawings, I like cyber piggy.
Dr Who as pigs – it’s new, it’s different…I like it!
