Can you find 10 differences

between these two pictures?

How many daisies can you spot on this page? Write the number here

Next time you are outside take your

camera and take some close up pictures of

the flowers, you might even see some butterflies!

If you were a

butterfly what

colour would

you be?

Butterflies start their life as LEAF MUNCHING CATERPILLARS. After the caterpillar has shed it's skin a few times, it will form a protective layer called a CRYSALLIS (you might have heard of it being called a cocoon). Inside the crysallis, the caterpillar turns into a beautiful BUTTERFLY.

We all have different patterns, some of us have spots, some of us have patches and some have stripes. Give me some super spots and stripes, as I am feeling rather bare!

Tie it to a cane as it grows, so it doesn't fall over.

Colour in the

sunflowers petals

You can buy seeds from garden

centres or shops like Homebase and

Robert Dyas.

Plant the seeds in SPRING

Plant sunflowers somewhere they willl get LOTS of sun, by a wall or fence is best.

Pull up all the WEEDS and DIG the soil with a fork to get rid of all the lumpy bumpy bits. PLANT the seeds about 1cm deep into the ground and about 60cm apart so they have room to grow.

After you have sown the seeds give them a good WATERING. Shoots will appear after about a week!

They will grow VERY fast so make sure you water them every day!

Draw the rest of

this sunflower.

Don't forget the

cane to keep it

standing!

Sunflowers GROW 3-4 metres tall, so measure

them every week! They will flower from

July to September.

We LOVE sunflowers!

You could give your

creations funky googly eyes

Making your own playdoh is fantabulous! It is really easy to make, and you don’t have to buy the really expensive stuff from craft shops. If you need more you can just keep making it!

2 Cups of flour1 Cup of salt2 Teaspoons of Cream of Tartare2 Cups of Water1 Tablespoon of Vegetable oilA few drops of food colouring

REMEMBERMake sure you ask an adult to help you before using the

cooker!

Put all your ingredients into a saucepan, and cook over a medium heat.

Make sure you stir it all the time, until it goes stiff.

When it is stiff, tip it onto the work surface and let it cool down. This is important as it will be very hot!

Once it is cool, knead it until it is lovely and smooth. Now it is ready to use!

Cress seedsCompost

Plastic trayWaterPaper

Get your plastic tray and FILL it up with

compost. Drizzle some water over the top to make it nice and MOIST. Then scatter your seeds all over the surface. COVER the tray with paper until the seeds are 1 inch

high.

RECYCLE Use an old tub for

planting your cress in. This tub used to have

mushrooms in it.

Cress is because you can grow it ALL year round, and you can do it on the windowsill!!

After a few days the seeds will start to look like this! Lots of lovely sprouting shoots! Make

sure you keep adding water so it stays

moist.

Cress is YUMMY in sandwiches and salads. Try it with tuna and sweetcorn or

egg mayonnaise.

What is your fave sandwich?

In 1 -2 weeks the cress will be ready to eat! It should be about 2 inches high. So get making some

scrummy sandwiches!
