In Science and Enrichment you have learned about the life cycle of a butterfly.

A butterfly changes as it grows. This is called a life cycle. A butterfly has four stages in its life cycle.
First, a butterfly lays tiny eggs on a leaf. After a short time, the eggs hatch.
Next, a caterpillar hatches out of the egg. The caterpillar eats lots of leaves and grows bigger and bigger.
Then, the caterpillar makes a chrysalis around itself. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar changes.
Finally, a butterfly emerges from the chrysalis. Its wings dry, and then it can fly. The butterfly lays eggs, and the life cycle begins again.
Last week we wrote notes about a butterflies lifecycle. We are going to rehearse our explanation of a butterflies life cycle and then write it.
Think about the explanations we have written in English.
In English we are going to be learning a new poem.
We are going to learn th poem 'The Owl and the Pussycat' by Edward Lear
It’s not a storybook but a poem—a special kind of writing with rhythm, rhyme, and sometimes nonsense.
This poem is full of imaginative ideas—animals sailing a boat, buying rings, playing guitar, etc.
It shows that poems don’t always have to make sense—they can just be fun and magical.

Which picture shows half past?
Which picture shows quarter past?
Today we are learning that 1 hour = 60 minutes. 1 day = 24 hours.
The minute hand goes all the way around the clock once.
- One full turn = 60 minutes = 1 hour
- Half a turn = 30 minutes
- Quarter of a turn = 15 minutes
- Full turn = 60 minutes
A day has different parts:
- Morning
- Afternoon
- Evening
- Night
All together these make 24 hours.
