The children researched the lifecycle of a butterfly and in their groups created a dance to depict the life cycle.

We had a fantastic afternoon going on a mini-beast hunt. We thought carefully about the different mini beasts that we may be lucky to find on the school field and all of the micro-habitats that they may live in.
Year 4 have engaged in a little mindfulness in trying to improve the appearance of our playground, and have planted some more seeds in the extra plant pots- we just need to be patient now!
This week we have been visited by Colin the Caterpillar. He was very sad as his friend had told him that he wasn’t always going to be a caterpillar.
As the children were familiar with the story ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ they were able to reassure Colin that he would become a beautiful butterfly.
Colin asked the children if they could create symmetrical portraits of what he may look like when he becomes a butterfly. Here are some of the butterfly paintings…..
This challenge acted as a fantastic stimulus to help the children mind map their ideas for what they want to learn in the Summer term for our topic ‘Amazing Animals’
