Problems of the day:

Spot the mistakes

“He’s here,” she shouted at the top of her voice. Her mother smiled gently as she placed the plastic crate on top of the table. Amy peered into the the dark space between the bars. Suddenly, a high pitched bark came from the inside of the crate. The door burst open followed by a small bundle of fur.

History

George Be has managed to get a picture of the robin chicks in his shed. There’s three of them in there.

Alex has also had update on her butterflies – which all, but one, have emerged now:

4 of her 10 stick insects have hatched too. They’re quite small at the moment but could grow up to 10cm long!

Here’s some of the fantastic work that has been shared today:

Please keep the photos and emails coming; it is really great to hear from you all and share what you are doing during these unprecedented times,

Hes hear, she shoutted at the top of here voice. Her mother smilled gently as she plaiced the plastic crete on top off the tabel. Amy peared intwo the the dark Space between the bars.

Reading

Here’s today’s chapter from Pax:

Daily Video

Here’s today’s animation:

Before you start your questions, I would like to point out that butterfly caterpillars don’t “climb” into their chrysalis, and that after the caterpillar sheds its final skin, the layer beneath it actually hardens over time to form a chrysalis. Moth caterpillars form a cocoon around themselves by spinning silk around themselves. Anyway, scientific accuracy aside, here are your questions:

1.) What scared the caterpillar at the start of the clip?
2.) What do the other two insects do to help the caterpillar into its chrysalis?
3.) Why do the two insects have to stay on the rock?
4.) How do you think the “caterpillar” feels when it emerges as a butterfly?
5.) How does the clip end?

Writing

As quite a few of you have said you’d like some opportunities to write stories, today’s task is to write a short story about a butterfly’s journey from a caterpillar to a moth.

You can use today’s video for inspiration. You can write your story in first person (as if you were the butterfly or something watching the butterfly) or in third person.

This is likely to take slightly longer than most writing tasks, so it can count as today’s and tomorrow’s task.

Science

Following on with the butterfly theme, today’s science task is to draw the life cycle of a butterfly. It would be great if you could include pictures and a description of what happens at each stage.

Here’s a video showing the metamorphosis of a butterfly to help you out (it is a time-lapse video, meaning it has been sped up and it does not happen as quick as in this video):
