This morning when we came into class we saw that one of the caterpillars was hanging upside down in a 'J' shape. He looked like he was ready to turn into a chrysalis. When the bell went we sat down on the mat to do the roll and notices. Soon after that someone realised that the caterpillar was changing. He was making a chrysalis around himself. Everyone went over to the butterfly garden to have a look. There were lots of gasps! I wonder how long it will take him to turn into a butterfly?
Our butterfly garden has lots of swan plants, one chubby caterpillar, a smaller caterpillar and a chrysalis. Lots of the leaves have been chomped by the hungry caterpillars. The swan plants are planted in a large pot. Hanging over the table is a pink, bed net. When the butterflies come out of their chrysalis and are strong enough to fly we will let them go.

Wow - so much learning already!! I love the fish story - there are some wonderful ideas in that for both children and adults to remember. I look forward to reading all about what goes in Room 8 throughout the year :)
