Caterpillar Update from Ms. Beirne's Junior Infants

5/25/2016

We were all really excited on Monday, when we realised that our caterpillars had made their cocoons. They had been eating lots of food recently and had gotten very big! Then at the weekend they finally made their cocoons.

The caterpillars grew a lot in 2 weeks!

Then they made their cocoons

We had to give the cocoons 2 days to harden before we could move them to the butterfly habitat and we had to be really careful with them. They are now in their new home and will soon become butterflies.

Ms. Beirne's Junior Infants - The Lifecycle of the Butterfly

5/9/2016

The children in Ms. Beirne's Junior Infants have spent the last few weeks learning all about the lifecycle of the butterfly. We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and enjoyed learning about the different stages in a butterfly's life. We worked together, during art time, to create a collage showing each of the different stages.

We also read the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar as Gaeilge, Dónall An Chlúimh Agus An-Ocras Air. We learned the Irish for all the different foods and we were able to retell the story as Gaeilge with the help of some story props.

We also got some caterpillars that we are going to watch change into butterfies over the next few weeks. We are really excted to watch them grow and change!
