LOVING the new "instant" sandpit. The juniors are having so much fun. As time goes on this will be edged and covered but in the meantime..... we can't keep them away!

Have you ever seen a caterpillar turning into a chrysalis? It happens very fast!! The Junior School teachers went to visit West Lynn Gardens the week before we took the classes and we were lucky enough to see it happen before our eyes!

Today Suchi and the team from Bear Park came to visit with 5 lovely girls. We can't wait to have Maggie at school with us! She will be in Room 5. They loved seeing the school pool, library and playground. They enjoyed calendar math with Room 5 and Jump Jam with the whole Junior School. Thanks for coming Bear Park!

 

 

Today I went to West Lynn Gardens with Rooms 2, 3, 4, 5 and 28. We had a lovely time learning about the monarch and exploring the gardens.
Look at the tiny egg on the leaf! You can hardly see the tiny caterpillar that hatches from it. But it eats and eats and eats....and becomes huge!
Do you know how to tell male and female butterflies apart? Here you can see a photo of both. The males have a black dot on each wing and the females have thicker black webbing between the orange colouring.
Jahvan was an expert at telling me whether they were male or female.
Noah found two leaves which looked liked hands with five fingers!

Krypton Factor... Go Western Heights!!

An awesome day at Krypton Factor at Flanshaw Road School. Western Heights pupils worked well together, and Regan enjoyed his ice-creams!!

On Tuesday 4th March I had 4 new visitors at school. Saqqara, Melody, Ayesha and A.J. are looking forward to turning 5 soon and starting school! Here they are in our school library.
