DMIC maths

Our focus for today was to draw and show our understanding of the problem. We were very creative. we drew our pictures, wrote an equation and also explained how we worked it out by writing statements.

Our question was...

Life cycle of a butterfly

The mother Butterfly lays eggs on the new leaves of a swan plant. When the caterpillar is ready to come out the egg hatches. When the baby caterpillar is born, it feeds on the leaves of the swan plants. The caterpillar will continue to eat until it is big. The caterpillar will hang itself upside down under a leaf and will become a chrysalis.

2 weeks later…
It will come out of its chrysalis as a Butterfly. Then it has to dry off the stickiness on the wings by slowly flapping its wings. Then it will continue the generations of butterflies.

A Bird house

Today we read about how to make our garden pretty. We decided to make a birdhouse for Mr. Roy who looks after our school garden. We painted it red and then we decorated it with some stones and mosaic tiles. It was fun. Mr. Roy was delighted to have a bird house in his garden.

Life Cycle of butterfly

Life Cycle of a Butterfly - By Reihaneh

When a mother butterfly finds a new leaf in a swan plant it lays
a caterpillar egg.When the caterpillar egg is ready it hatches
into a tiny caterpillar.When the baby caterpillar  comes out
it eats the new leaf on the swan plant and then it eats more
leafs until its fat. When it is ready to turn into a butterfly it
hangs itself upside down and turns into a cocoon.
Two weeks later it turns into a butterfly but it has to dry its
wings because it is sticky.the butterfly flaps its wings slowly.
When the wings are dry it can fly.

Looking after our School Environment

“I feel so tired being the only one cleaning this school I think I
want to resign,” said M our caretaker. He was very upset
because he has to wake up early everyday and he is always
very exhausted.“ We need to help Mike pick up the rubbish
because he is feeling very upset picking up the rubbish
all by himself” said Mrs. Sharma. So we all decided that
we would help Uncle M pick up rubbish in our school.
From now on every every morning before school starts we
would get our badges, our plastic bags, our gloves and then
we’d head  outside to pick up rubbish.

When Uncle M heard we were helping him pick up the rubbish
he was a bit shocked and happy that we were helping him.
Then one day one of our classmates gave Mr. M lollies and
a card with a wish to put a happy smile on his face and it did.
Uncle M was so happy that he does not want to resign anymore.
