We have been learning about all the different parts of the human skeleton.

Have a go at our fun Skeleton Dance, it's lots of fun!!!

With our Waltham Walk-a-thon getting closer Room 10 and the Junior School have been busy with some power walking!

Keep your fitness up at home and go for a family walk together.

Monarch Fun!

In Room 10 this Term we have had some special visitors!
We have 3 Swan plants with Monarch Caterpillars.

Can you spot the baby caterpillar?

We have watched baby caterpillars grow into big fat caterpillars and shed their skin.

We have seen the caterpillars wiggling and jiggling into their cocoon sleeping bags.

We have looked carefully at the gold breathing holes and watched the cocoons getting darker.

We have seen the Monarch Butterfly push out of its cocoon and dry its crumpled wings.

We have taken the butterflies outside and put them on the trees.

We have watched them fly away to find some yummy nectar!
