We each created an art work to show the life cycle of a butterfly. The next day we used our art to explain to a partner how the life cycle works. We used words like life cycle, leaf, eggs, larva, larvae, pupa, chrysalis and adult.
The Butterfly song
Out comes a caterpillar with many legs,
Oh see the caterpillar spin and spin,
A little chrysalis to sleep in.
Oh, oh, oh wait and see,
Oh, oh, oh wait and see,
Out of the chrysalis, my oh my,
Out comes a pretty butterfly!
We talked about what happens at the chrysalis stage. Caius brought along his transformer toy to show us what 'transforming' means. It means 'change' or 'turn' like the word 'morph.' Metamorphosis is when the caterpillar turns into a butterfly. We think it is magical!
That is really interesting and my favourite part is the song, whats yours?
