We have been learning about the growth of living things over the past few weeks.  Many of you will see evidence of this on the ILDs.

We carefully fed caterpillars and took care of them when they were in their cocoons.  We waited patiently for them to emerge from their cocoons as butterflies and were delighted when this happened.  Lots of us asked complex questions to find out more and took turns listening to our friends as we spoke about the butterflies we observed.

We extended this learning in greater depth by painting, reading stories, completing puzzles and exploring minibeasts in the sand, water and playdough.  We have also been hunting for minibeasts outside.

Yesterday we released our beautiful butterflies into the forest.  We were very, very excited!
