\nToday the children decided it was time to release our butterflies. The species we have are called Painted Ladies. We made sure the weather conditions were suitable for example the temperature was above 12 degrees and it wasn\u2019t to windy. The children measured out a nectar solution of one teaspoon sugar to 100mls of water \u00a0cut up some tangerines and mashed a small slice of banana to put outside in case the butterflies needed energy to look for flowers. \u00a0I explained that the butterflies mouth functions like a straw to sip up the nutritious liquids and that they should live two to five weeks. Then the children unzipped the habitat and patiently waited for the butterflies to fly away.<\/p>\n

The children were delighted to see the butterflies so close up. \u201c It\u2019s got a very furry body\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s tickling my nose\u201d \u201cI think butterflies have a nice pattern on them, I like the colours on them\u201d<\/p>\n

\nIn the garden today we also did a little weeding \u00a0and planted some herbs to make our mud kitchen concoctions a bit more interesting. The children planted parsley coriander and basil they thought the basil had the nicest \u00a0scent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nThe children were very gentle while planting their herbs and knew that they would need sunshine and water to grow. It has been such a busy day, planting and releasing our butterflies. Maybe you could have a look and see what other species of butterflies you have in your garden or in the local community when you are out and about. We would love to see any pictures!<\/p>\n
