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?
Now watch these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1S8WzwLPlM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT6UsQwZyy0 Can you talk though each of the stages shown in the diagram below?

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?
