What is a life cycle? A life cycle shows how a living thing is born, grows into an adult and then has babies of its own. All living things have a life cycle. Whilst they have similarities, they can also be quite different. Watch the Very Hungry Caterpillar

• What happened? • How did the caterpillar change? • What do caterpillars eat in real life?

Lesson 9:

Warm up:

Crab Races

To get into the crab position, lie on your back. Put your feet on the floor and your hands under your back to lift yourself up like a little crab. This position is great for a warm up because it stretches your muscles, forces you to use your muscles, and the race will get your hearts pumping. Start the race. The first little crab to get to the finish line is the winner.

Main activity:

Instructions:

Challenge 1:

• Perform a three step gallop backwards as many times as you can in your space.

• At the end of each side gallop, kick your back leg behind your front leg so that it touches the back of your lower leg.

• Place your back leg firmly on your front leg and point your toes. • Remember to use your standing leg to keep balanced. • When confident with this, speed up your gallops. Make sure you keep

your balance and keep your back straight!

Challenge 2:

Success criteria:

• Good control • Good balance • Smooth movements

• Perform a three step gallop backwards as many times as you can in your space.

• At the end of each side gallop, lift your knee across your body so that it is close to your opposite arm.

• Bring your knee up high and push it as far across your body as you can. • Remember to use your standing leg to keep balanced. • Now speed up your gallops. You need to balance well on your last step

so that you can bring your knee up high without wobbling.

Challenge 3:

• Using your skills from challenge 1 and 2, perform a sequence of the different gallops you have learnt.

• For example, one gallop with a high knee, then two gallops with the leg crossing behind your leg.

• Practise these forwards and backwards. • Can you teach your sequence to a partner from a distance?

Frogs

What do they look like?

Most frogs are green or brown, but some have colourful markings or patterns

on their slimy skin. They all have large back legs, short front legs and no tail.

Their feet are webbed. Frogs have big eyes on top of their heads to help them

see all around.

Where do they live?

They live near lakes, ponds, and streams. This habitat helps keep their skin

moist, which is important for frogs. They need to be near water to stop their

skin from drying out. Their homes usually have lots of leaves, reeds, grass and

lily pads in them.

What do they eat?

Frogs sit very still when they are hungry. They wait for small insects to fly or

crawl near them, then as quick as a flash, their sticky tongue snatches them up.

Frogs eat beetles, ants, flies, worms, crickets and moths.

Lifecycle of a frog

Frog eggs are laid in a group in the

water by a frog.

After about 6-21 days, these eggs

hatch into tadpoles.

The tadpole spends its time

swimming in the water, eating and

growing. Tadpoles have a tail for

swimming with. It usually takes

them 6-9 weeks to fully develop as

a tadpole, however some types of frogs may take much longer.

Around week 12, the tadpole sprouts legs (and then arms), has a longer body,

and has a bigger head. It breathes under the water and still has a tail. The adult

frog breathes air and has no tail. This growth cycle, from egg to frog takes

between 12 to 16 weeks.

Did you know..

Frogs jump and hop to

move around. They can

also swim under water

using their strong back

legs. Frogs hide

themselves under rocks

and leaves to protect

them from being eaten

by other animals. Most

frogs croak, ribbit or

grunt but only male

frogs are able to make

noise, not the females.

The Butterfly Dance

In amongst the buzzing and humming of

summer came the steady sound of

crunching. Most of the caterpillars ate

by themselves but Dotty and Stripe shared everything.

One day, Stripe said, “I’m so full, I think I’ll have a little sleep.” He

spun himself a silky hammock and snuggled up tight inside. That’s

strange, thought Dotty. “Wake up, sleepyhead!” she called. But there

was no answer.

It wasn’t much fun without Stripe. They’d

always done everything together and Dotty

felt lonely. I’m a bit sleepy, too, she thought.

So Dotty spun herself a cosy bed and soon fell

fast asleep.

As the days passed,

Dotty’s cocoon began to wiggle. Until one

morning, it cracked open and she burst out

into the sunshine. Dotty blinked and gasped,

“I’ve got wings!” Where’s stripe, I can’t wait

to show him?! she thought.

“Dotty!” called a dazzling butterfly gliding down beside her.

“Stripe?! Is that you?” she asked. “Look! You’ve still got your

stripes!”

“And you have your dots!” said Stripe.

“What shall we do now that we’re butterflies?” asked Dotty.

“We fly, of course!” said Stripe. “Come on, I’ll show you how…”

They balanced on the edge of the leaf. “One…two…three…”

And they were off! Gliding and looping, soaring ad whirling,

fluttering and chasing. Until raindrops sent them diving for cover.

“I’m hungry,” said Stripe.

A little bee popped out from a flower. “These bluebells are tasty but

you might prefer the thistles.”

“And you might like the poppies,” another Bee told Dotty.

“The meadow’s full of flowers,” they buzzed. “Where’s the meadow?

asked Dotty. “Through the trees,” buzzed the bees. And as the rain

stopped and the bees danced away to make honey, Dotty and Stripe

fluttered off to the woods.

Stripe liked flying fast and Dotty liked flying high, but best of all

they liked flying together. Far below, they saw a group of dragonflies

in a puddle. “Let’s go for a paddle,” said Dotty, and down they

swooped.

They sipped the cool water and splashed in the mud. “Are you

looking for the other red butterflies?” said a dragonfly. “They’re

down by the thistles.” “Others?” said Dotty. “Maybe there are other

butterflies that look like me. Let’s find out,” said Stripe.

They fluttered through the gentle breeze until they spotted some

ladybirds. Dotty asked, “Have you seen any other butterflies like us?”

“Do you mean the little blue ones?” replied a friendly ladybird.

“They’re playing in the poppies.” “Oh!” said Dotty. “There must be

some butterflies that look like me!”

“It’s funny how all the ladybirds gather together,” said Dotty. “And

the dragonflies.” “And the bees,” said Stripe. “Maybe I’m supposed to

play with butterflies that look like me?” “And I’m supposed to play

with the ones that look like me?” said Dotty.

They had never been apart before – they were BEST friends. They

sat together for a long while, and

then the two friends said goodbye.

Stripe found the red butterflies

playing hide-and-seek. “Please can I

play, too?” he asked. He had a

great time but he missed Dotty. It just wasn’t the same without her.

Dotty joined the blue butterflies dancing among the poppies. She had

fun but wished Stripe were there, too. “I miss my friend.” Dotty said

to one of the blue butterflies. “But I can’t be with him anymore. He’s

with the other red butterflies, in the thistles.”

“It’s only because they love the taste of thistles! said the butterfly.

“You can still play with your friend. Come on, I’ve got something to

show you…!” And off they flew until they came to the meadow.

“Wow! said Dotty. “So many friends and they’re all playing

together!”

But how will I ever find Stripe? thought Dotty. Then, at the edge of

the crowd, she spotted a butterfly, hovering all alone. Dotty darted

across the meadow.

“Stripe!” she called. “I missed you!” “And I missed you!” said Stripe.

And, as the sun went down, they flew off to join in the wild dance.

• To help keep your balance, look at an object in front of you that is not moving.

• Slowly lift one of your legs off the ground. • Bring your knee up high so your foot is far away from

the ground. • Hold the balance for 10 seconds, counting slowly in

your head. • Now try the same thing on the other leg. Can you do

both?
