Magnificent Monday

Today is Monday - the first day of a school week. It was raining last night and on the way to school lots of us saw a lovely rainbow. We were excited to tell Mrs E because we have been reading Noah's Ark and there is a rainbow in that story. She wanted to take a photo but it was behind the buildings. When it gets over the oval we will stand under it and have a photo. We talked about what we would like to find at the end of a rainbow and drew pictures.

We started making special environments for our stick insects. Because stick insects are very good at camouflaging themselves, we made their homes the same sort of colours so they could hide and 'blend in'.

Zak's stick insect is light green and dark green and so is his home. There are also some leaves and twigs. He has done a great job of making sure his insect can camouflage itself.

Ella's stick insect is well camouflaged in its home. Ella says that her insect is a girl one. Its pink and red body is hiding in amongst her pink and red leaves.

Can you see Connor's stick insect hiding here?

At recess time, Mrs D brought her flute in to play for us. We pretended that we were at a restuarant and

Mrs D was the entertainment. It sounded really beautiful.

Mia's snail slid along the fence at the bottom of our garden display. It's a very colourful snail.








Emily B's colourful bug likes living in our garden display.

It stopped raining at lunch time so we could go out and play. The sandpit was REALLY wet and soggy but some of us still went in it. All the sand stuck to our feet!

Mrs W started to help us make imaginary insects. We started by rolling three balls of newspaper and then covered them in alfoil. Then we covered it with plaster bandages. Tomorrow we will be able to glue coloured paper on them and add legs and wings and antennas. We have to put 6 legs on because insects have 6 legs coming from their middle part.
