The New Monarch Butterfly
Dannielle & Jacob T.M brought a pupa into School & surprised the class. We hung it on a wall in between 2 pins so that's why we named it pinpin. We waited about 2 weeks. We saw it go from green to black to white. When it was black it was transparent. The next day when we were at the libary it broke free!!!! The butterfly was clinging to the wall. We were so happy. It was bigger than we expected. It was beautiful. We discovered it was a male because it had spots on the insides of it's wings. Some of us were so upset when we set him free because we didn't want him to go. Pin-pin wasn't a very good flyer at first. But eventually he figured it out and flew up to a tree.

WAR RESEARCH
Last week for homework we had to find out if we had any people in our family involved in the war (WW1 or WW2). Some people did, Molly made an awesome poster and Liyana made a cool booklet. She didn't even have any people in her family that went to war. Her booklet had a heap of interesting fact's, it also had a poem about WW2. Edwin Stapleton was Molly's great grandad he was in WW2. We did this for homework because it was Anzac day on April 25th.
