Another busy week has whizzed by. We had a special day on Friday. We celebrated World Harmony Day with the World Harmony Runners visiting our school. The World Harmony Run is a run that has gone all around the world with different people getting together and running for peace and harmony. They carry a torch with them that they try to keep alight all the time to symbolise peace and hope. To celebrate, we could wear our national costume, or clothes that we would wear in different countries. Klara and her sister dressed in their national costume from Germany. Their mum made their hats. We all thought they were really cool.
The whole school gathered in the hall and sang songs for peace. Can you see all the different country flags that were hanging up?
In our classroom lately we have been learning about living things and how they grow and thrive. We have some plants to take care of and we have had a caterpillar living on one of the plants. It is a swan plant. We had a mystery to solve this week as our caterpillar disappeared! We couldn't find it anywhere! We all had a think and came up with some ideas about where it might have gone. We wrote them in our topic book. We were all a bit sad and worried. Then Anup found the caterpillar on the puzzle shelf! Hooray! We put it back on the swan plant because we thought it might be hungry.
On Saturday Mrs Richardson came to school and saw it starting to build a cocoon.
Lucky she got to take a photo so we could see. Now it is a chrysalis.
How exciting! We can't wait to see it turn into a butterfly. We wondered how long it will take to change. Come and read what we thought in the topic book.
Have a happy and safe week everyone.
