Discovery

This term in Discovery we are learning how to classify living and non living things. We are learning about what living things need to survive and grow. It is very exciting as we had a special delivery on Tuesday of our very own chrysalis! We are learning about how to look after our chrysalis and make observations. Next week, we will look at what the right conditions are for the chrysalis to survive and change. We can't wait to see what happens!

Some observations:
