On this activity I had to make a flying fauna. In this learning activity I learnt that a fauna is animal life.
It took me a while but I managed to create 2 butterfly’s.
I am proud of my work because I think I did a good job.
Something I found challenging was finding things to create my butterflies.
The first butterfly was made using sticks, leaves and lettuce from our garden. The antenna was made using the flowers from a chive plant.
The second butterfly was made from sticks, leaves and flowers found around our house.
Here are the 2 butterflies.
Kia ora David!
I really enjoyed seeing the two butterflies you created for your flying fauna activity. It is very impressive that you found so many different things around your house and garden to use!
Using lettuce leaves for wings is a very clever idea, they have such a great shape and texture for a butterfly! Using the flowers from a chive plant for the antenna was a brilliant touch. It makes your first butterfly look very realistic. You mentioned it took a while and that finding the right materials was a challenge, but you didn’t give up until you had two different designs. It’s great to see you learning and using the word “fauna” to describe animal life.
Did you know that butterflies actually taste with their feet? When they land on a leaf (like the lettuce you used!), they are checking to see if it’s the right kind of plant for them to lay their eggs on!
You said finding the materials was the hardest part. If you were going to make a third butterfly, what is one thing from your garden you didn’t use this time that you think would look cool?
Keep up the awesome creative blogging, David!

Kia Ora David,
It’s Isa here from New Brighton Catholic School. I liked how you created your butterfly using natural materials and arranged the wings so neatly. Your design was clear to see and the way you placed each piece made it look really creative. The lettuce is the best! Inā rawe!
