Butterflies

The monarch butterfly has many changes in its life cycle.  See if you can find all the changes.

Mrs Munro is coming to work with Room 4 on Inquiry Learning.  We are going to find out more information about butterflies.

Mrs Munro came to our classroom and we looked at the life cycle of the butterfly.  Then we went to our school intranet site and found some information to share about the butterfly.  We also looked at the parts of the butterfly.  What an exciting time we all had.

This is Mrs Munro working with Room 4

Some of the information we found out:

*The caterpillar nibbles through the eggshell.

*When the caterpillar has grown too big for its skin the skin splits because it becomes too tight.

*The caterpillar uses its ten back legs to move around and it has six front legs to help it feed.

*The caterpillar will shed its skin four times.

*The chrysalis has tiny holes to let air in and out.

*When the chrysalis splits the butterfly crawls out.

*The butterfly dries its wings in the sunshine.

Here are some pictures and information about the butterfly.  These were done in the ICT Suite.

In this video the children are designing a variety of butterflies.

The children wrote their information about butterflies on pages and saved their work.
