It wouldn't be a late summer term in New Zealand without the excitement of caterpillars arriving at school. We are fortunate to have so many interested budding scientists in our class, there is a constant supply of caterpillars, crickets, cicadas, moths, chrysalis's and hopefully butterflies and moths eventually.
This links beautifully to our New Zealand Science curriculum, particularly the living world achievement objective NZ Science curiculum
- Recognise that there are life processes common to all living things and that these occur in different ways.
We have been looking for caterpillars in our kowhai tree and found out that they turn into a moth from a cocoon.
This is different from our Monarch caterpillars which change from a caterpillar to a chrysalis and then a butterfly.
We have so much knowledge about the lifecycle of a caterpillar.
We have written poems about butterflies too.
That looks like great fun!
