Alison Shanks Visits Parkvale School

Thomas's aunt to be, Alison Shanks came to visit us at Parkvale School.  She showed us a video of her racing and all the gear she uses to race.  She talked about what it is like to go to the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games and showed us her medals.  Thomas tried on Alison's racing clothes.  Doesn't he look SPEEDY!



Monarch Butterflies

Louie brought two monarch butterflies to school.  They had hatched out of their chrysalis's at his house.  We looked at them for the day then took them outside to release them.

Kayla Brought a swan plant to school with some caterpillars on it.  We watched them slowly eat away the plant then change into chrysalis's.  We noticed that they slowly changed from green to black and orange.  One day while we were writing our stories one of the butterflies came out of its chrysalis.  
We found out that the butterfly was a boy.  We know it was a boy because it had a black spot on its bottom wing. Here is the video of it coming out.
