After weeks of watching the progress of our caterpillars who slowly grew and formed their cocoons, we finally saw our beautiful butterflies emerging in their net last week. After a few days of feeding them on sugary water and slices of oranges, it seemed that they were ready to be released and we could think of no better place to set them free than in our outdoor classroom among the trees and flowers.
\nThey seemed to be a little nervous of leaving their safe little home and Miss Kerr had to give them a helping hand to settle on the flowers which gave everyone a chance to have a close look at our little butterflies before they slowly flew off.
