Superpiller is out

Superpiller has turned into a beautiful butterfly. This morning when I came in, I saw something with really long legs dangling on the pupa. I thought it was a spider!!! Only to realise Superpiller is out!!

Unfortunately we had to release it because it was flying frantically inside the "cage". I took the box cover out n paste it in a paper tray. You can see the picture below.
Mdm Nor and I released it. It flew immediately when I flipped open the tray. It must be very very hungry. I am sorry children that you cannot witness the butterfly's freedom. Be happy that it is healthy!

Here's a photo we took. It's very fast so the photo is not clear.

That goes for all the 2B students. More fruits, less junk food. Try to avoid fried food and sweet snacks for now.

As mentioned, these are the butterflies I saw on my way to work. They emerged out from the chrysalis into beautiful butterflies. Now who can guess what type of butterfly are these?

Today's takeaway

Oral
Most of us are pretty good with oral, but there are some things to note:

• Always use present tense in picture conversation
• When the examiner asked you what will happen next in the picture - remember to use future tense because you are expecting it to happen.
• Use past tense to talk about past experiences
• Do not use Singlish (lah, lor, hor)
• Try to refrain from using too much of "and then"
• Do not wait too long to answer a question and try not to let the examiners prompt you too many times (1 - 2 prompts are good enough), just relax and answer accordingly. Remember, the examiners are there to give you good grades, they are not there to judge you or mark you down.

Keep up the good work guys! Here is a site the level had shared for reading.

Caterpillar

them after you all have seen it.
