We came into class this morning to discover our pet praying mantid lying on the floor of it's cage.
For a moment we thought that it had died. Then we realised what was really going on.
Have a look at our video.
Isn't life amazing!

Wow! This is an amazing video. What a great learning opportunity you all have. Not many people would have seen that before. Thank you for sharing this video so that the rest of us get a chance to see it. I will show my class tomorrow.
Hi Mrs M did you hafeto put on sad music.
Jarvis, remember that with One True Media, you have to find a track that is at least the same length as your video. Because we already had audio with our video, we had to choose an instrumental track, so, taking all that inot account - the choice was limited to something more suited to out of space or this! Let's not think of it as sad, but as music that allows us to reflect how amazing this event is!
Hi Mrs M did you know that tinny little thing was struggling when he was trying to get his skin off.First when I saw him I saw him I thourt he was dead I had a nouther look and I said wait a minut it's sheding ites skin.
oooh wow what an amazing proosses the mantid is going through. INCREADBLE!!!! Mum liked the backround music.=]
Hi Year 2 Gems from Ballarat in Victoria!

Congratulations!
Very cool! My kids watched a praying mantis lay its egg sac on our deck railing yesterday. (We are from Michigan, USA)

Hi Mrs M, The video of the mantis video is amazing. We are so lucky to be able to see this in our classroom. I hope it survives so we can let it go back out in the wild.
Hi mrs m, i loved the video it was sad i was nilling crying our little friend is growing up i will miss him. claire.
Is it still alive Mrs M? Is it still shedding Mrs M? Catch ya later =].
From the kids in 1R:
"That was amazing how the praying mantid shed its skin 3 times!"
"I liked seeing it shed it's skin off"
"I hope the praying mantid is okay."
"When did you get the praying mantid?"
"How long have you been taking care of it?"
"How big is it?"
We really like your video. It was really cool to see it shed its skin. We think the music sounded sad.

Hi Mrs M, it is very sad that our little friend is growing up so fast. Do you think it is sad too and that it is going to be ok? Last year we saw a snake skin in our back yard, we think it was from a carpet python.
Hi Mrs M, I know it is sad that our pet died but where are we going to bere it. My thorts are we bere it in the garden nere the the Prep t room.

Hi mrs M I hav'nt seen this blog for a while!!!! I think I miss my little praying mantid. We never got to find out if it was a boy or a girl. I miss him. Have you burrid it yet?
I like the insect.
They are interesting.
I didn't know that insects took their skin off but now it makes sense because their skeleton is on the outside and they need to grow.
