This week, we are learning about spiders. I loved seeing your fantastic spider webs and hearing what you had found out on Tuesday.
Today, we are going to find out about the life cycle of a spider
Can you look at the pictures of the life cycle of a spider and talk about what happens, starting with the eggs?
What are baby spiders called?
What is the same as in the caterpillar life cycle and what is different?
Can you make your own spider life cycle picture? You could print out and stick pictures. draw your own or be as creative as you like. Look at last week’scaterpillar life cyclesfor some ideas.
I am looking forward to hearing about and seeing your learning today.
Love from Miss Siswick. (I will be teaching at school so I will not be able to respond until later today.)
It would really help me if you could upload photos straight to the media file (instructions are here: sharing photos and files) as they get to me more quickly and easily as they don’t have to go via the office and my e-mail. Please can either your child’s name or face (but not both) be visible on any photos. Many thanks.
The spider and the butterfly lays egg, the spider lays several eggs but the butterfly lays just 1 egg. The eggs of the spider are on the web in a “egg sac” and the butterfly lays on a leaf. After, the spiderlings hatch and become an adults spiders. But for the caterpillar it is different: after the hatch of the caterpillar, it eat lot of leaves and made a cocoon before to become a butterfly.
Baby spiders are called spiderlings.
Spiders and butterflies both lay eggs.
However, a butterfly’s egg turns into a caterpillar before hanging upside down in its chrysalis and then eventually a butterfly comes out. A spiders egg turns straight into a spiderling.
James is drawing a spider life cycle now.
Alexander looked at the pictures and said the spider lays eggs, the eggs hatch and baby spiders come out. The baby spiders become small spiders and the small spider becomes a big spider.
Baby spiders are called spiderlings.
Alexander says the caterpillar and spider lay eggs. He says the spider eggs hatch on the web but the butterfly comes out from the cocoon.
Grace said ‘Spiders and caterpillars start life as eggs‘ she understood that the spider does not have a cocoon and it does not become something different, it becomes an adult spider unlike the caterpillar who becomes a butterfly.
See picture of the life cycle 🙂
Eloisa did her life cycle of a spider today (uploaded). She wanted to add that the adult spider dies once it lays an egg sack. She knows of from the movie “Charlotte’s Web.”
Hello,
Spiderlings is the name of the babies spiders.
The spider and the butterfly lays egg, the spider lays several eggs but the butterfly lays just 1 egg. The eggs of the spider are on the web in a “egg sac” and the butterfly lays on a leaf. After, the spiderlings hatch and become an adults spiders. But for the caterpillar it is different: after the hatch of the caterpillar, it eat lot of leaves and made a cocoon before to become a butterfly.
Well done, Victoire. You found out a lot about the life cycle of spiders.

Well done, James. You found similarities and differences between the life cycles. Well done for spotting the spider’s missing legs! I didn’t!!

Baby spiders called spiderlings

You looked carefully at the life cycle, Indigo. Well done. How exciting that you saw a spiderling in the computer room!

Hello Miss Siswick,
I love the cute little spiderlings, but I don’t like them so much when they are grown up! I have finished my life cycle picture.
Well done, Fiadh. I am not keen on adult spiders either!
Dear Miss Siswick,
Sophia and mummy helped me to make my life cycle of a spider. “ My spider looks like Spinderella” (one of my favourite books ?).
Greetings from Nicolas
That is a great life cycle model. Well done; Nicolas, Sophia and Mummy!
Philip watched a great video about the lifecycle of a spider on YouTube. Minibeast adventure channel.
That sounds great, Philip. Can you share the link, please?
Hello Miss Siswick!
Caspian said that baby spiders are called spiderlings and spiders and butterflies both lay and coming out from the eggs.
Well done, Caspian. You found differences and similarities between the life cycles.
We have been watching Minibeast Adventures with Jess, it’s very basic, age appropriate and the kids seem to like it.
Thank you, Philip. That sounds great for our topic. I will have a look for it.
Eloisa did her life cycle of a spider today (uploaded). She wanted to add that the adult spider dies once it lays an egg sack. She knows of from the movie “Charlotte’s Web.”
Well done, Eloisa. I didn’t know that. I had better read ‘Charlotte’s Web’ again! Thank you for the extra information.
