Gingerbread man

This is another favourite fairy tale...the Gingerbread man!

Our favourite part was when we got to bake our own gingerbread men and decorate them!

Once upon a time...

This term we are learning about Fairy Tales and they often start with...

Can you guess what this fairy tale is?

Yes, it is the 3 little pigs!  We liked the part when the wolf burnt his tail and he shot out of the chimney! 

Keep watching to see how our mural grows as we read more and more fairy tales.

Symmetry

Macintyre made a fantastic symmetrical pattern on the pegboard. Both sides look the same!!

Yak's ship

Today the Yak table made an amazing ship! "We started by using the long blocks first. Then we added little ones on top. The grapes are stinky things to scare the bad guys. the spiders are the guards and the shark is the attacker. We loved building our ship together." What teamwork Yaks!!

Ship

This is GoGo's ship with a window in the middle. He needs to build stairs to go up to the window!

Jake's boat

Jake wanted to share his boat that he made this morning.

Block boats

Before school we like to build boats out of blocks. Look at these amazing block boats we built this morning!!

Butterflies

2 of our butterflies came out of their chrysalises today. It was amazing!! Their wings were so small and then they got bigger and bigger!

Where are the caterpillars?

Now look how big our "baby" is!

I wonder who can spot all 4 of our little friends? I bet you can!

More news!

Look what it looks like 2 hours later...

Our other fat caterpillar is making a little pad to hang from. Will he also be a chrysalis tomorrow?

Chrysalis!

 Our caterpillar started changing into a chrysalis after school. I looked for someone to share it with but you had all gone home! Here are a few photos to show you what happened. It was AMAZING!!!
