Reflection:
I have this learning activity for my Year 3 students. I am very happy because all students have brought the materials as I told such as: A4 paper, scissors, stick, colour pencils, pencil, and sellotape. Students were very happy and interested because they have the opportunity to create work of art during English lesson. The learning objective of my lesson is students can follow my instruction during the lesson. So, they have to listen carefully to my instructions step by step how to make a butterfly. Most of my students can complete the work in the end of lesson. I felt very proud with them, as they were only Year 3 students but they were succeeded in drawing, cutting, colouring and make a beautiful butterfly in 30 minutes.

Improvement:
For those weaker students, I will prepare another material for them. I will provide them with paper which the shape and pattern of butterfly already printed. So, they just have to cut the butterfly and colour it. It will help them to complete the work faster.
