Bonus question! (worth Caught Being Goods 👍).

The next day four of the animals wanted another sports day, but the caterpillar had gone to sleep and would not wake up!

"When he wakes up, we'll have another sports day!" said the frog. The three others agreed.

Some days later the caterpillar did wake up. He crawled out of his sleeping bag. He looked quite different!
What had happened?

Again they decided to have a swimming race, a running race, a high jump, and a long jump.

Who do you think won each event this time?
Has the caterpillar's change made any difference?
Why do you think this?

  1. Swimming race we think the frog is going to win because all frogs are good swimmers.


    Jumping we think the frog is going to win because they are good jumpers.


    Long jump we think the frog is going to win because the frog are can jump long like the wind.


    Running race we think the spider is going to win because some spider can run fast.

    Swimming race we think the spider is going to win because there are some swimming spider.


    Jumping we think the the butterfly is going to win because it can fly over.


    Long jump we think the butterfly is going to win because it can fly

    The running race. The next one is caterpillars because they can crawl.

    High jump. Frog because they like jumping high.

  3. Swimming race.
    We think the frog will win the swimming race because frogs live in water and the other racers don’t live in water.

    The running race.
    We think the frog will win because it can stick out its tongue and stick to the ground and pull itself to the finish line.

    The high jump
    The frog because it can jump high and it will get over.

    Long jump
    The frog because it can jump high so it can jump long far.

  4. The frog wil win the swimming race cause it can swim fast and the frog can jump far as and can win. The spider will lose cause it can die in the water. The snail will lose cause it’s to slow and it will take to long to get to the water. The Caterpillar will lose cause it will be eating the leafs.

    Bonus question.
    So after the race the caterpillar went into a chaconne and the next day the caterpillar came out and was a moss the other animals said that caterpillar looked different from last time and won every single race cause it can fly every where.

  5. I think the frog is going to win because they can jump on pods.
    I think the lady bug is going to win the running race because it can fly.
    I think the spider is going to win because it can use its web.
    I think the caterpillar is going to win the the long jump because it it has wings now.

    One day, a caterpillar, a ladybird, a spider, a frog and a snail decided to have a sports day!

    They decided to have a swimming race, a running race, a high jump and long jump.

    We discussed that the frog would win the swimming race,
    The spider would win the running race,
    We also discussed that the frog would also win the jumping race,
    And again we also discussed that the frog would win the long jump race

    What had happened?
    He looked like a beautiful butterfly

    Again they decided to have a swimming race, a running race, a high jump, and a long jump

    Has the caterpillar's change made any difference?
