I found something interesting yesterday that I wanted to show you. A wasp nest is also called a byke. That made me thin about the names we give to different animal homes – I was thinking of a pig living in a sty, a squirrel in a drey and a badger in a sett – can you think of any others?
A little song about caterpillars :
The next verses are
Then he’ll eat the leaves around him til he’s full (munch munch)
Then he’ll eat the leaves around him til he’s full (munch munch)
Then he’ll eat the leaves around him, eat the leaves around him,
Eat the leaves around him til he’s full (munch munch)
A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home (spin, spin)
A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home (spin, spin)
A cocoon is what he’s spinning, cocoon is what he’s spinning,
A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home (spin, spin)
Then he’ll be a butterfly and fly away (flap, flap)
Then he’ll be a butterfly and fly away (flap, flap)
Then he’ll be a butterfly, be a butterfly,
Then he’ll be a butterfly and fly away (flap, flap)

Another challenge for you! How much rain is there where you live?
Yesterday I saw a gaggle of geese (and some goslings), a herd of cows and a flock of sheep. Can you think of any other names for groups of birds or animals?
I spotted these while out walking this week – have you spotted any caterpillars or butterflies?
