SPCA Visit

Today we were really lucky to have Jasmine and Sasha from the Canterbury SPCA come to visit us.

They talked to us about how to look after animals and we now know that...

They need good food and fresh water.
They need shelter.
They need fun and exercise.
They need love and kindness.

We also heard about different types of heroes that live and work at the SPCA.

Please remember that we will have our class to the SPCA this Friday (March 20th) and we will be leaving from school at 1pm.

Butterfly release!




After much discussion we decided it was best to release our butterfly so that it could lay some eggs on a leaf and keep the butterfly life-cycle going.

Butterfly Magic!




At the beginning of this term we were looking at Butterflies as part of our science learning.
Olivia and Ben W brought in caterpillars and a chrysalis for us to look at.

We got to see the caterpillar munch and crunch all of the leaves on the swan plant - it was a very hungry caterpillar!

We watched closely as the chrysalis turned from green to black.

One morning we noticed the chrysalis was empty - what came out of it... a butterfly of course!






















Buddy Class

Every Tuesday afternoon Room 14 visit or are visited by Village 22.

Village 22 is our buddy class for this year. We have enjoyed meeting our Y5 buddies and being able to share our learning with them. We have been reading stories to them and talking to them about our Hero learning.

Last week village 22 came for a visit to our classroom. They sang us a song and read picture books to us - it was awesome!
