In the run up to Christmas, we were joined once again by Maria, a very talented lady, for some flower arranging classes. The classes proved to be very popular and we have some very talented parents in our school. Well done to all the parents who attended the classes and showed such great talent. If you are interested in attending a flower arranging class, contact Yvonne in the school or Sr Rita in the Haven.

We have read the Hungry Caterpillar whilst learning about the life cycle of the butterfly. We even have our own caterpillars which are now in cocoons. We can’t wait for them to become butterflies very soon!!


We have been reading the story “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle. We have learned all about the life cycle of the butterfly and have completed lots of activities based on this theme.
Today we made Hungry Caterpillar necklaces using painted pasta, beads and card. It was a little tricky but we stuck with it and made some beautiful pieces.

We even have our own caterpillars in our room. We have watched them grow over the past two weeks. We think that they might be hanging in their cocoons when we come back to school on Monday.
