May Portfolios
We added another page to our portfolios, with everybody adding letters to try to write, and working hard on giving as many details as we could in our pictures.
Cocoon Painting
After creating our cocoons last week, we followed the colour scheme of our Painted Lady butterflies (green, grey, gold) and painted the papier mache!
Butterfly Wing Folds
Using a small, white piece of paper and black-and-orange paint, we painted one half of the paper with a black and orange design, then worked on our folding skills and created a symmetrical paint blot. We then matched our halves on two large, black pieces of poster paper to make butterfly wings.
Symmetrical Butterflies
A combination of foam butterflies and stickers were used to create symmetrical butterflies.
Other Things We Did
We learned about the concept of symmetry, the idea of two things matching on each side, except that they're reversed.
After taking a walk around the school, we selected the best place to release our butterflies! We picked the Butterfly Garden in the main schoolyard because it was far away from birds, had some flowers, and there were plenty of trees and bushes for butterflies to hide in. Then, we released the butterflies and watched them fly away!
