I’m sure you have all heard about our new class pets but here is some more information from the children of P1/2…
Maxwel – The caterpillars came from Mrs Burke (well, she bought them for us) because p2 and p2/3 had pets.
Reece – We wrote to Mrs Burke to get a pet.
Josh – We had to put 2 spoonfuls of caterpillar food into a tub.
Lewis – We got a clean paintbrush and gently got the caterpillars out and put them in their tub.
Kade – Miss Langridge put a hole on the top of the lid to let the caterpillars breathe.
Archie – The caterpillars were hanging on the top of the lid.
Matthew – They were spinning silk so they could hang.
William – They had to shed their exoskeleton.
Ellie – The caterpillars have to shed their exoskeleton 5 times so they are ready to get into their chrysalis.
Evie – Miss Langridge put the caterpillars into the net and now they are busy working to turn into butterflies but they just look like they are sleeping.
Ruth – They start out light once they turn into their chrysalis and then they get darker and darker and that is when we know they will turn into butterflies.
