First, we read a big book called Stick Insects by Dawn McMillan.
After reading the book we complete lots of different activities.
For 1 activity we did our own drawing of a stick insect and labeled all the different parts.
Here are the keywords we used:
- antennae (feelers)
- thorax
- abdomen
- legs
- head
We then looked at the life cycle of a stick insect. We learnt some big words such as
antennae
camouflage
nymph
moulting
Using all our learning we then made stick insects using real sticks. We had to think about all the different parts of a stick insect and how stick insects camouflage.
Check out our camouflaged stick insects:
Hey my name is Kali,
ReplyDeleteI really like how you guys got creative after the lock down and make stick insects. Next time you should add a video of them making it. This reminded me of when I need a Summer Learning Journey task that involved making a insect out of stuff you could find in your backyard. What was your favourite part about making them? I wish you guys the best!
Nga mihi,
Kali
