Lifecycles

On the subject of lifecycles, I think we might head down to the pond tomorrow and look for some frogspawn....then we can watch the tadpoles turn in to frogs and that can be another science project we have covered for this year.

I'm surprised we haven't heard from our facilitator yet - we have normally had her visit by now for the end of the year, but we haven't even heard from her yet.  I'm really surprised.

Caterpillar update!!

I must add a picture tomorrow!!

Our caterpillar grew VERY fast - practically doubling in size over night!!  And then by about Thursday last week it climbed to the top of the bug house and attached itself and then changed into a chrysalis!!  It is still hanging there and we are REALLY hoping that it is doing ok and is still alive in there....we normally get about 6 each year and maybe just over half will make it...so with only one, we are a little worried that it won't survive....but hopefully it will be ok and will soon open up and come out as a beautiful butterfly :)
