We wrote our own version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The Very Hungry Caterpillars

By the Super K -9s

Illustrations and story based on the story by Eric Carle.

 In the light of the moon

some little eggs lay on a leaf.

 One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and – pop!- out of the eggs came  tiny and very hungry caterpillars.

 They started to look for some food.

On Monday they ate through one apple, but they were still hungry.

On Tuesday they ate through two pears, but they were still hungry.

 On Wednesday they ate through three plums, but they were still hungry.

 On Thursday they ate through four strawberries,

but they were still hungry.

 On Friday they ate through five oranges, but they were still hungry.

On Saturday they ate through

one packet of popcorn, a banana, some meat loaf, chippies, an iceblock, some liquorice...

 ...peanuts,a chocolate ice cream, a lollipop, 

 a piece of chocolate cake and some jellybeans .

 That night they had tummy aches!

 The next day was Sunday again.

The caterpillars ate through one nice green leaf, 

and after that they felt much better.

Now they weren’t hungry anymore-

and they weren’t little caterpillars any more.

They were big, fat caterpillars.

They built a small house, called a cocoon, around themselves. 

They stayed inside for more than two weeks. 

Then they nibbled a hole in the cocoon, pushed their way out and  …

 They were beautiful butterflies!

We are learning about the sort of clothes Jesus wore when He was alive in Palestine,

Ruben and Claire dressed up as Jesus and Mary.
They each wore a tunic, a mantle, a girdle or sash and sandals.

WALA taking digital photos.

12 March
We went out to our discovery garden after it had rained and used the digital camera to take some photos of what we found.

 Mrs Keane
My photo is of a caterpillar hanging upside down and beginning to transform into a chysalis. I wonder how it holds onto the leaf with such strength?

 Mackenzie

I took a photo of the bleeding caterpillar. Can you see the yellow blood?

 Owen

My photo was taken when the caterpillar was turning into a chrysalis under the wood.

Eli

I took a picture of a caterpillar but the branch had no leaves on it.

 River

My photo is of the caterpillar on the swan plant with no leaves. The caterpillars have eaten it all.

 Jheyme

I took a photo of a green caterpillar. It might turn into a green butterfly.

Lilia

My photo is of two caterpillars looking for some food. They are not on the swan plant.

Claire

I took a photo of a VERY little caterpillar maybe it had just hatched out of its egg.

Isabella

I took a picture of the dead caterpillars. I saw some children knocking them off.

 Ruben

The caterpillar is turning into a chrysalis. It is hanging upside down under the wood.

 Ava

I took a photo of the dead chrysalis. It fell off the branch. Maybe someone knocked it off or it could have been the rain or it could have been a earthquake.

Jake

These caterpillars are eating pumpkin because all the swan plant leaves have been eaten. So now the caterpillars are doing orange poo instead of green poo!
