Cora's Caterpillar to Butterfly Journey
At the end of March you learned all about The Butterfly Life Cycle at home. Cora's family bought a live butterfly garden and were kind enough to share their whole journey with us all. It was so exciting watching the butterfly life cycle in such detail. I knew a lot of you also adore butterflies and would be very interested in seeing week by week what happened in Cora's butterfly garden. Below you will find loads of pictures, week by week & even two videos at the end.
I hope you all enjoy looking at them as much as I did!
I hope you all enjoy looking at them as much as I did!
Week 1 -
Have a look at how tiny they are at the start of the week in comparison to the end of the week! They are also starting to spin their silk.
Week 2-
They have grown huge within only one week. A lot of silk can be seen and they are preparing to make each of their own chrysalis. Picture number 3 shows them hanging in their chrysalis.
Week 3 -
Look at the patterns and detail on the chrysalides. They have now been put into their new home in preparation for them to develop into butterflies!
Week 4 -
Last Sunday Cora & her family saw 3 of their butterflies emerge from their chrysalides and the remaining two emerged on the Monday . The chrysalides go quite dark the day before they emerged & the butterflies came out very quickly. Cora's mom even sent a video of the last butterfly emerging.
I will also put this up below. Cora & her brothers named the butterflies Fred, Tom, Timmy, Lily and Becky. They even got to hold the butterflies for a while before they flew away.

Hello Everybody,
We are into our final month of school. I really want to thank you all for the huge efforts and support over the whole year, but especially in the last few months. It's fantastic to see all of the work and activities you are all doing at home. In June we usually do a lot of revision in class, consolidating everything the girls have learned all year. I have attached a file below and some links to support the work as usual.
📸 If you have any pictures since March of things the girls enjoyed doing & would like to share please feel free to send them in. I will do a little slideshow each week. These pictures do not have to be based on school work, they can be pictures while out for walks, cycles, scooting, dressing up, experiments, drawing , painting, cooking, playing.. etc. I have loved receiving all of the photographs of different activities since March & I have replied to these emails individually already but if you were happy to share them on the website with the girls friends, please resend them to me 😄
As always, I hope you all have a great week. If you have any questions, feel free to email with them and I will get back to you as soon as possible!
Ms. Buckley.

Hope you are all well,

These links will bring you this homepage
This is the matching game. The girls can practice matching print letters to
its cursive partner.
To write, click 'Letter Formation' on the homepage. The following pictures will show you how to get to the full writing stage online.
Here is a quick list of the letters your daughter uses
These are the letters we use in throughout the entire school for writing. I have colour coded them to group them together.
🦒Giraffe letters (Red lines ) - These letters are tall letters and are nearly double the height of other letters.
🐒 Monkey-tail letters (Blue dots) - These letters always go underneath the line. In class we talk about a money sitting on a branch and his tail hanging underneath the branch (the branch being the line).
🙂 Smiley face letters (Green dots) - These letters finish with a shape, resembling drawing a smiley face. This is essential to join the letters together in a word. I will post samples of errors to watch out for with these letters. Although, these may seem like very small errors, they could slow down the process of writing in the future. Infants is the easiest time to correct any writing habits.☺️ Please see below for samples of these letters.

Easter 🐰🐣
Hello Everyone,
It has been lovely hearing from you all and receiving the pictures & videos over the last few days. If you would like to see the pictures of your friends Butterfly art, there is a slideshow below. I am also going to insert another slideshow of other art girls have been sending in, so the girls can see what their friends have been getting up to over the past few weeks. This is totally optional.
A lot of people have suggested the YouTube channel 'Art for Kids Hub' which I will link below. All art is a fantastic & fun way of practicing fine motor skills. If any of you have any other suggestions that you think would be beneficial to other children, feel free to send me an email and I will share them up here on our class page.
Art for Kids Hub- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5XMF3Inoi8R9nSI8ChOsdQ
Free virtual books- https://bookflix.digital.scholastic.com/home?authCtx=U.794217314
⬆︎ This website has a huge variety of free online books. There is no need for any account to be set up either. The website reads the book to your daughter, while highlighting the words in the book. Your daughter can then try reading the page after hearing the computer read each page to her, and click words she may have forgotten. There are also activities and games related to each book. These will help the girls practice essential reading skills. I would highly recommend this website. It is very accessible for the girls to do independently at home.
History- A parent from our class shared a lovely resource linked with history which I'll link below. She highlighted that we are all living in what will be looked back in as a massive part of history. This document is a lovely & positive way of documenting the girls experiences through this time & keep for the future to look back on. It is for printing, but I'm sure you could make your own version too if you didn't have access to a printer. This is an optional activity.😊

Scrapbook- A parent in our class has also been documenting day by day what they have been doing at home in a scrapbook. I thought that this was such a lovely idea to share with the class and may interest others. It would also be a gorgeous thing to keep to look back on in the future. I will attach some sample photographs below if you are interested!😄

Hi Everyone! 😊
I hope you are all keeping well during this time.
I have attached a new PDF below which gives plenty of ideas to continue on work at home this week. I have also converted most PowerPoints to PDF format to suit more devices. Unfortunately one of the files cannot be converted, don't worry if you cannot open that one. The purpose of these files will be explained inside the 'Week 3' PDF.
If you have any questions regarding the girls learning or the work above feel free to email me at any time. If your daughters would like to show me some of their work, I would absolutely love to see it. I will also insert an e-gallery of the girls' butterfly drawings if the girls would like to share them with their friends on our class page.
My email address is ms.buckley.stjohnofgodartane@gmail.com
Take care of yourselves, Ms. Buckley. 😄

Audio Books
These are a great & independent way your daughter can listen to stories. Audios engage children imaginations to create their own images of characters and scenes. As an extension task they could even draw how they imagined a character/ a scene from the story.

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all well and taking care of yourselves. Below I have attached a PDF with different activities we do daily in school. It would be great if you could complete some of these with the girls each day. Please do not feel under pressure to complete everything on this list. If you are interested in looking into more options, the home page also has a great list of online websites.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all again soon! :)

Pancake Tuesday
Today was very exciting and we had a lot of fun in the classroom. We worked very hard as a team and made pancakes. To do this we had to combine our skills in English (procedure), Maths (number, weight & capacity) and Science (hot/cold & liquid/solid) together. At the end we were left with some very yummy treats!!

Today we learned all about Road Safety in School.
We now know to :
1: Find a safe place to cross.
2. Don't hurry, stop and wait.
3. Hold onto an adults hand.
4. Look all around and listen.
5. Let all the traffic pass you or wait until it has stopped.
6. Keep watching while you walk safely across onto another path.
We each got high visibility jackets to wear early in the mornings or in the evenings when it begins to get dark.
