Cooper the Ant!
Te Pihi read a great story called 'Grant the Ant.' We learnt a lot about an ant colony, the ants' tasks, and their life cycle.
Cooper wrote a great story and was our 'Writer of the Day!'
Then Cooper volunteered to act as an ant and show part of the the life cycle. Science is fun!

The queen lays the eggs.
When the larvae hatch out, they spin a cocoon around themselves. |
 |
| Breaking out of the cocoon after four months! "How's that!?" |
 |
| Now he is called a pupae. He wakes up so hungry! |
 |
| Off goes Cooper the Ant to find food wherever he can. |
 |
| Mm-mm... yummy ant food at the Seedling Cafe!! |
