Last Friday the students heard the story about how the world became so colourful. It involved Mother Nature and a curious, white (originally) butterfly named Bernard. Ask your child to tell you the story!
Students then created their own butterfly using the same colours that Mother Nature had used in the story – the primary colours of red, yellow, and blue.
Today we discussed ‘symmetry’ – what it means and what parts of our bodies display symmetry. They then added the bodies to their butterflies and curled the antennae. The butterflies have now migrated to the bulletin board outside of our room. Take a look when you come by the school.
There are also three butterflies created by some Division 1 students who worked with us on Friday afternoon.
