Method
Ioan started off sketching his ladybird life cycle.
Then he moved on to the life cycle of a bee.
Yoshi cut out his illustrations and positioned all the drawings on a piece of paper, then when he was happy with the position, glued them in place.
Then he drew in the arrows to indicate the flow of the life cycle process.
Finally he added his title.
His finished life cycles, along with his favourite moments learning about them.
There is more about the science behind metamorphosis here in a post where Ioan made a small world tray about life cycles.
