The Butterfly

29/1/2015

0 Comments

This week we are investigating the life cycle of a Butterfly.
We have researched some fun and interesting facts about them.

Butterflies are insects.
A butterfly’s lifecycle is made up of four parts, egg, larva (caterpillars), pupa (chrysalis) and adult.
Butterflies attach their eggs to leaves with a special glue.
Most caterpillars are plant eaters (herbivores).
Fully grown caterpillars attach themselves to a suitable twig or leaf before shedding their outside layer of skin to reveal a hard skin underneath known as a chrysalis.
An adult butterfly will eventually emerge from the chrysalis where it will wait a few hours for its wings to fill with blood and dry, before flying for the first time.
Butterflies can live in the adult stage from anywhere between a week and a year, depending on the species.
Butterflies have four wings.
Butterflies often have brightly coloured wings with unique patterns made up of tiny scales.
Most butterflies feed on nectar from flowers.
Butterflies taste receptors are on their feet.
Scientists estimate that there are between 15000 and 20000 different species of butterfly.
Birdwing butterflies have large, angular wings and fly in a similar way to birds.
Monarch butterflies are known for their long migration. Every year monarch butterflies will travel a great distance (sometimes over 4000 km), females will lay eggs and a new generation of monarchs will travel back, completing the cycle

On the Ning Nang NOng

This week we had great fun learning Spike Mulligan's poem-'The NIng Nang NOng!' We had great fun inventing our own animals and creating our own sounds on the NIng Nang NOng! We even created a picture of what the Ning Nang NOng might look like. It's a real tongue twister!! Have a go at saying it. You can listen to second class rhyming it off.

On the Ning Nang Nong
On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So its Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong
is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!
