We were so excited to go swimming. Some of us went in to the water, some of us waited. We were very patient. Jumping in was the BEST fun.

We had a fun time this morning from the movie to the snack – cheers, to the ceremony itself.

How good do we look?

What a fantastic day!

Mrs Matheson has been working hard with us. We have learned about the importance of rules, of listening, being safe, working in a team and that winning isn’t important but having fun is.

We have learned some new ball skills and team games.

Today we worked with a racquet. We learned that it has a face, neck and grip. We learned the ‘safe’ hold so that we didn’t swing the racquet and hurt anyone .

Today our 5 baby caterpillars arrived. We are so excited. We are going to learn how to care for them.

Day two

We think they have grown a little. They are crawling a lot!

Day three

Our wee friends are getting bigger. Today we used a magnifier to have a better look at them.

Day four

not much of a change today but still crawling!

Day 5, the end of the first week.

We’re so excited, look how much our caterpillars have grown over the weekend.

Lily put the caterpillars and butterflies in the right order and put our caterpillars beside them.

3rd June

The caterpillars have been very active today.

I have taken them home over the weekend to keep an eye on them.

It gives a whole new meaning to ‘I’ve got the class pet for the weekend!’

Sat 4th June

As I sit here watching our wee guys they are hanging and curling.

Who, like me, thinks they are getting ready to change?

Sun 5th June

Okay so overnight the two wee guys do seem to have formed chrysalis but unfortunately they fell to the bottom of the container. I’m going to leave them there and wait until they have all changed.

You can barely make them out in the photo.

Another one going tonight, hope he doesn’t fall off.

Mon 6th June

This morning and evening’s photos. Only one wee guy left to change, I wonder if he will be a chrysalis by morning?

Our first dook!
