How we created our Eric Carle inspired pictures.

We have been studying the art works of Eric Carle and how he creates his pictures.

First we made the colourful paper.

Use lots of brush strokes.

Paint squiggles.

Add dots.

Use carpet to add texture.

Next draw a picture.

Then transfer the picture onto the painted paper.

Make your collage picture by gluing the pieces onto white paper.

Don't forget to sign your art work

How do butterflies feed?

By Annabel

They have a special tongue that goes in and gets nectar from flowers. The tongue looks like a straw but black.
By Poppy


They use their proboscis. The proboscis is their tongue. They suck nectar out of the flowers. They stick their proboscis in the flower and they curl there proboscis up after they have finished eating.
By Tainui


Butterflies go from flower to flower. Butterflies sip the nectar out of the flower.
Maia

by Maia

Butterflies use their tongues to sip nectar from the flowers. The tongue is called the proboscis. The butterfly eats nectar from the flowers. Butterflies are delicate. The tongue looks like a straw.
By Melissa

The butterfly drinks the nectar with it's proboscis. By Summer

Look how big the tiny caterpillar we saw coming out of the egg is now.

The life cycle of a monarch butterfly

Today at buddies we shared our books that we made about the life cycle of a monarch butterfly. Then we made a big size life cycle of the monarch butterfly for the wall.

Here is our finished display.
