Big Book: A Butterfly is Born

We have started reading the big book, 'A Butterfly is Born'. I will start lending out the small books for you to bring home from tomorrow onwards. Remember to bring the book back after one day so that your classmate gets a chance to read it too! Same thing, you may want to take photos of the book for your own reference. 

Some fun facts that we talked about in class:

1. Caterpillars, like all insects, actually have 6 legs.

You can see on the right, by its head, 3 pairs of black, pointy legs that it's using to grab the bud it's eating. On its abdomen, holding onto the stem, are the stumpy prolegs: four pairs in the middle and one pair by the rear end.



2. Butterflies scare off predators by using warning colours (red, yellow) and spots that look like eyes.
