Our Monarch Hatches

Monarch Hatching on PhotoPeach



When a monarch butterfly hatches it slowly creeps out of its chrysalis and dries off its wings. It takes a little while to get all of its blood in to its wings, then it flies away in to the sky.
We saw all this happening in our class last week when our butterfly hatched. We had had it in class since it was a tiny caterpillar. It turned into a chyrsalis and then hatched as we all watched. We then put it out onto a flax plant and it flew away when it was strong enough.

Beach Day






On Thursday the middle syndicate went to Tahunanui Beach. There where 6 activities: sand castles at the shore, cricket, volleyball, sand creations, relays and petanque, playground.
Playground
I went to the playground first. it was with Mrs Cowley. I played on the tyre swing with Charlotte. I also played on the concrete runner.
Sandcastles at the shore
We ran down to the sandcastles at the shore and took off uniform so we were in our togs. We went down to water and started digging the moats of our castles. My castle was about half a metre tall. Charlottes castle got destroyed because she built it too close to the water.
