Butterfly Body Parts

This week Grade 2 continued examining the life cycle of the butterfly.  Now familiar with each stage, we took a closer look at the different body parts of the insect and their functions.  Did you know the butterfly has a proboscis or a like straw like appendage used for drinking water and nectar?  After the lesson, Grade 2 had a fun quiz where they had to label a diagram of a butterfly and everyone passed with flying colours.

Red Run

Wow!  What a day - Grade 2 made an impressive effort at the  inaugural Red Run last Friday in support of the Swiss Red Cross and their “Mitten unter uns” Program.  Despite the incredibly hot weather the class managed to run/walk a combined total of 105 laps around Eulach Park, almost double our original goal.  Grade 2 was even an inspiration for the older students because of their boundless energy.  Good job everyone!   We would like to give a big thank you to all the parents that came out to cheer and support the class.

Mother’s Day

Grade 2 would like to say “Happy Mother’s Day” this year with flowers.

 

Kind regards,

Ms. Christine Aberley
