Maths strategy - Check out Max's use of place value
Max added the tens first and then added the ones. This strategy is called place value.
38 + 44
30 + 40 = 70
8 + 4 = 12
70 + 12 = 82
38 + 44
30 + 40 = 70
8 + 4 = 12

Caterpillar writing - Max D and William
A monarch caterpillar turns into a butterfly and it eats swan plants also known as milk weed. We have some caterpillars in our classroom. Monarch butterflies fly around swan plants. We are going to plant some in our school garden.
First a monarch butterfly is an egg then it turns into a monarch caterpillar which is yellow and black. Then it turns into a cocoon then it hatches into a monarch butterfly.

Caterpillars - Nate and Blake
Monarch caterpillars are stripy like a bumble bee. They are starving eating machines that munch through the green swan plant. They nearly eat a whole plant each day.
If it is cold the caterpillar slows down and curls up but when it is warm they eat heaps.
Hanging under the leaf, they use suction feet to stop from falling off.
When he turns into a butterfly, the caterpillar will be able to flay his wings 50 times a minute.
We want to build a supermarket for caterpillars in our school so they never get hungry.
