Mead

To start off Week 3 we revisited the lifecycle of the Butterfly.

We talked about the caterpillars we had in Mead Room way back in Term 1 and recalled what we had observed so long ago.

James – Egg. A caterpillar came out. He was little. He got spikes (antenna) on him.
William – When the caterpillar came out it eats some leaves and then it turns into a chrysalis.
Zoe - …. A cocoon.
Ned – Wiggle. Wiggle. The caterpillar changed. Crack. Crack. A butterfly comes out.
Maxime – He’ll be doing it again and again.

We are having many conversations about babies, and it is especially relevant because Spencer’s mummy had their new baby Lincoln this week!

Noah – Babies are small
Lloyd – no teeth!

On Tuesday we were able to look inside an ambulance.  Matt (Hamish’s Dad from Cooper Room) and Tim, showed us through the ambulance and even organised an amazing way for us to exit the vehicle.  We found out that the siren is to tell other cars on the road to be alert that an important vehicle is coming through – it was very loud!

Happy Birthday to Benji who turns 4 on the weekend!!

Happy weekend fun to you all!
