This week, we learnt all about insects – the tiny creatures that crawl, fly, and buzz all around us. 

What are insects? 

Insects are small animals with 6 legs. 

Most have two feelers (called antennae). 

Many insects have wings to fly. 

They live in gardens, parks, and even in our backyards. Can you spot an insect today? Maybe a butterfly, a ladybug, or even an ant!  

Busy Bees 

Bees are special insects.  

Draw your favourite insect with lots of colours. 

Pretend to be a buzzing bee and fly from “flower to flower” in your classroom or garden. 

Remember 

Insects may be small, but they play an IMPORTANT role in our world. Let us be kind to them and watch them with gentle eyes.  

Help flowers grow by carrying pollen (that’s called pollination).  

Make honey for us to enjoy.  

Live together in a home called a hive. Bees are especially important helpers in nature. Without them, many plants and flowers wouldn’t grow! 

The Hoppers went on a nature walk to see if we could spot some insects and boy did, we see so many interesting insects. We go to school in such an amazing place to view all these different insects and bees. 

The Hoppers had their photos taken this week and they were all such cutie pies. 

For art, this week we worked on two artworks. The first one the Hoppers had to count out 6 bottles lids to make a caterpillar and paste it onto cardboard then draw the eyes, mouth, and legs. The second one we made a beautiful ladybug, but this one is a secret that we will keep for our art show. 

We had such a wonderful week. I hope you have an amazing weekend. 

Our Hoppers!
