Our final monarch butterfly came out of it's chrysalis on Friday while we were on holiday.

When we got to school this morning, we couldn't find it anywhere... 

but after lunch Aloma spotted it under the science table by the sliding door.

 It wanted to escape our classroom and fly outside into the sunshine.

Jay took these photos of it outside before it flew into a tree.

Welcome Back Skyhawks!

Welcome back to Rowandale!

I hope you have all had a fun and happy holiday and are ready to 'Soar to Success!'

Remember to bring your Habits to school with you, or pick some up on your way in the gate.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Mrs Bayliss :)

Life Cycle of a Monarch Butterfly

After being inspired by a video of the life cycle of a butterfly the Skyhawks decided to get their own swan plants and caterpillars. We observed the caterpillars and watched how they formed a chrysalis to prepare for their final transformation.

So far two butterflies have emerged. There is still on more to come out and we have one caterpillar that is getting fatter each day.
