We have really enjoyed having the caterpillars in the classroom. The boys couldn’t believe how quickly they grew. They soon stopped being small and cute and quickly became fat and hairy!

Last week they made their pupa/ cocoons and we all waited expectantly!

Yesterday, one by one, they emerged as beautiful butterflies. It was all very exciting. Every time we looked in the butterfly house a new butterfly had come out!

This morning I encouraged the boys to spend some time looking at the butterflies as we would be releasing them in the afternoon.

After lunch, we let them fly away! All the boys waved goodbye as the butterflies happily flew away to start their new life.

 

Homework – Next week we will be talking about how the boys have changed since they were born. Please can they bring in (or email me) a photograph of themselves as a baby. We will try and guess who is who!  

Many thanks!
