The Very Hungry Caterpillars!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

It’s been a very exciting week for the caterpillars! When we got them they were so tiny but have grown and grown and grown……… til on Wednedsay we realised they were ready to go into their cocoons! They were all hanging upside down in a “j” shape and you could see their silk threads! Grace put them into their Hatching Habitat and we think they will take about another week to turn into butterflies. The children are all so excited – it’s the first thing they check every morning! We’ll keep you posted!

We also went on a Minibeast Hunt outside – it was fun! We recorded all the bugs we found and Josh was our photographer – we hope you like the photos!

This week we learned the sound”ou” and also that “ow” makes the same sound! We know so many two-sers now – and are really good at spotting them when we are reading!

In maths we have been doing lots of counting – backwards is still a bit tricky but we are getting better and better. We go to really big numbers now! We are also practising getting all our numbers the right way round and checking our work when we have finished – we want to have them perfect for Primary 2!

Thank you for all your hard work this week P1B – you have all been stars! Have a great weekend everyone – thank you for all the wonderful comments! Top bloggers this week were……Grace H and Ben!! Well done and 20 House Points each – I love everyone’s comments!!
