Every class was responsible for making a particular treat for the carnival. Room 19 made lolly butterflies. After we had spent so much time and effort making them, many class members bought one in the Willy Wonka Sweet Factory on carnival day - Mrs Bear even bought two!

A finished lolly butterfly - (almost) too good to eat!
First we wriggled into surgical gloves, and then we choose 20 lollies - there were HUNDREDS to choose from!
|
It was important to make the butterfly wings symmetrical so we chose two of each colour and grouped them in two identical piles.
 |
| To make the wings, we carefully placed one half of the lollies in one corner of the bag, and the others in the opposite corner. |
 |
We folded the bag in half and then clipped on a peg for the body. We curled pipe cleaners to make antennae. Zinay's Grandma helped us glue sparkly pompoms and googly eyes on the body with a hot glue gun.

| When we had used up all the sweets, we counted how many lolly butterflies we had made - 88! Then we calculated how much money we would make if we sold each one for $2. Different people used different strategies to work out the correct answer - $176. |
