Special Request from Mrs Whitehead: To make
hobo stoves for our Year 8 camp, we need clean empty
Sweetened Condensed Milk tins and any clean, empty catering size tins. Please send these along to Mrs Whitehead or Mrs Vincent as soon as possible.
Here's what our garden looks like in the middle of the Easter holidays.
All the chrysalises have hatched and there are no signs of any caterpillars. Some of the swan plants are starting to recover and new leaves are starting to shoot from the bare stalks.
There were two - or three - butterflies in our garden; one looked reasonably young - and could have been recently hatched because it rested for a ling time with its wings closed. Another fluttered and rested occasionally before moving on again. It was a darker and the wings were starting to look a little tattered - just.
 |
| Don't you think the wings look just a bit tattered? Do you think this is a male or female? |
 |
| This is another butterfly that flew in for a visit. Do you think it's the the same butterfly as above? |
 |
| Is this a male or a female butterfly? How do you know? |
The aphids are still on the busy Lizzies, the oranges are starting to
turn ... orange - ever so slightly, and the olives are starting to look a
little lighter in colour.

| The aphids are still on the busy Lizzie. |
 |
| When is an orange orange? |
 |
| Is an olive olive? |
 |
| An empty chrysalis. |
