We have moved our four chrysalis into their new home! Pupils and staff are watching with excitement for the next stage 🦋

[The Hive at DHS @TheHiveDHS]

Our caterpillars have started to form into chrysalis. There is one that is a little slower than the other three. Can you spot which one looks more like a caterpillar still?

[The Hive at DHS @TheHiveDHS]

As part of our minibeasts topic we are learning about the life cycle of butterflies. We have 4 caterpillars that we are watching closely as they grow and change. It has been amazing to see them grow already in just the first few days!

The Hive students have been developing their collage skills using shape, colour and texture within the context of still life. Their work is now proudly displayed in the corridor 😊

During the past few weeks we have been learning about owls in science. We finished off by making our own owls! We plan on adding them to our Scottish Highlands display. Aren't they adorable? 🐝🦉 #thehive #dalkeithhighschool

Mrs Kane has really enjoyed working with pupils from @TheHiveDHS over the last few weeks. They have learned loads of new skills whilst manufacturing a wooden jigsaw puzzle and a wooden hedgehog pencil holder. @official_DHS #determinedhappysuccessful

Here is the final result of our tropical-rainforest-turned-scottish-highlands! Our pupils worked hard and learned about our native wildlife, including badgers, foxes, pine martens, pipistrelle bats and red squirells! 🐝🦊🦇🦡🐿 #the hive #dalkeithhighschool #reducereuserecyle

Look at the lovely vase and bowl made by our seniors during the summer school programme. It is amazing some of the experiences that our young people got during the exam leave, that they wouldn't usually be able to get! 🐝👩‍🎨🎨 #thehive #dalkeithhighschool #summerschool

This week we had Claire from the Scottish SPCA visit, to help us understand more about the animals that live in Scotland. We were on the lookout in our garden for different animals, then we had to figure out what was the best way to help the animals. 🐝🌿🦔🐑🦢 #ScottishSCPA

Some of our pupils this week were learning about different experiments that use colour mixing. Our favourite one was putting food colouring on milk and adding dish soap to it to watch it spread and mix together🐝
