In the Sunshine class, we have been spending the last few weeks observing our caterpillars grow bigger, and change into a chrysalis. On Monday, the children were amazed to see that a butterfly had emerged from its chrysalis - that’s when the magic began.
At the beginning of the week, we could see all our butterflies in their special butterfly garden nets. The children continued to care for them and observe them throughout the week – what a good job they did too! When the children realised how strong the butterflies were becoming, we knew it was time to set them free. The children had mixed emotions about setting their butterflies free but knew it was for the best. The children watched as some of the butterflies quickly fluttered away; others stayed a little longer to give the children a last goodbye.
