Primary 1-3 have been learning all about the life-cycle of a butterfly and using their ‘good looking’ and questioning skills to find out all about caterpillars. They created their own models of caterpillars from plasticine and added detail like the segments of the caterpillars, their ‘true’ legs and false legs.

Just over 2 weeks after their arrival the caterpillar had grown from 7mm to 4cm and changed into a chrysalis.

We wait patiently now for the metamorphosis into butterflies and hope that this happens before the summer holidays.
