Glossary for Butterfly Life Cycle
Larvae are a young wingless form (a grub
or caterpillar) of many insects that hatches
from an egg.
Caterpillars are the larva, or young, of butterflies and
moths.
A cocoon is a covering or case made
by some animals to protect
themselves or their young as they
develop into adults.
Pupa is the stage when the insect is in the cocoon and
its body goes through changes.
Metamorphosis is the change
some animals go through where
their bodies become something
new. For example, caterpillar to butterfly.

The Desert - Glossary
Precipitation is water that falls to the earth as hail, mist, rain, sleet, or snow.
An adaptation is a special skill which helps an animal to survive and do everything
it needs to do.
Moisture is a small amount of liquid that makes something slightly wet.
Conserve means to use only as much as you need. Do not waste.
Evaporation is when water (liquid) turns to steam (gas). You can see this when you
boil a kettle.

Art Create a design using an app or a software on the computer/IPad Please complete your repeated pattern designs that you started last week (see Year 5 Topic Plan 25th – 29th January). Another copy of the Art Resource is on the next page if you need it. As a challenge to those that may have finished, I would like you to try to draw your pattern on Paint or any other drawing app you may have. (Recorded lesson available) This can be done on the computer/phone or IPad. I have recommended an app below (PicsArt Color) but make sure you first get permission from an adult if you want to download any apps.
Watch Mrs Naqvi’s recorded lesson to see how you can create repeated patterns using Paint.

RE Name a variety of sacred places in the world and why they are important. Here are a few examples of sacred places in the world and why they are important.
A. Kashi Vishwanath Temple, India
Kashi Vishwanath is one of the most
famous Hindu temples. It is a shrine
dedicated to Lord Shiva who is
believed to have appeared here as a
fiery column of light. Hindu people
are expected to make a pilgrimage
here at least once in their lifetime.
B. Lourdes, France
Lourdes gained fame amongst
Catholics in 1858 when the Virgin Mary
is believed to have appeared 18 times
to a local girl, Bernadette Soubirous.
Since then, Lourdes has become a
place of pilgrimage, with visitors
hoping to be healed by spring water
from the grotto.
19
C. Mahabodhi Temple, India
The temple of Mahabodhi is the site of
Prince Siddhartha Gautama’s ‘supreme
enlightenment’ and the moment he
became the Buddha. It is the most
sacred place of pilgrimage for
Buddhists in the world.
D. Mecca, Saudi Arabia
As the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad
and the religion he founded, Mecca is the
centre of the Islamic world. The Kaaba is
here, a cuboid building within Islam’s most
sacred mosque Al-Masjid al-Haram, which all
Muslims are expected to face when praying.
E. Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia
Uluru and Kata Tjuta in the Central Australian
desert are millions of years old and have been
home to Aboriginal people for tens of
thousands of years. They believe that the land
was made by creation ancestors who have
left behind marks in the earth and a spiritual
law to guide their lives and the relationships
between people, animals and the land.

• Which religion/s is the sacred place linked to?
• What to people do at the sacred place?
• Is it a natural structure or is it a building (man-made)?
• What beliefs are linked to the place?
• What happened in the past at this place? For example: A and B are both places where people make a pilgrimage to. E is a natural place in the desert whereas C is a man-made temple. Use the RE RESOURCE to record 2 other similarities and 2 other differences.
EXTENSION: Find out about another sacred place in the world.
F.Mount Sinai, Egypt
Of importance to the Jewish, Christian and
Islamic faiths, Mount Sinai is thought by many
to be where Moses received the Ten
Commandments from God. Saints, prophets,
pilgrims and tourists have been travelling
here for thousands of years.
