We have been looking after some caterpillars. They have hatched into butterflies. – Isabelle.

Two weeks ago when Miss Shimmield was away at Loch Insh with the P7s, our caterpillars began to form chrysalides so that they could change. We took a photo of the chrysalides. We watched them closely, but we had to be careful. Whilst a caterpillar is inside the chrysalis they are changing. It is important that you do not disturb them. They will shake if they think predators are near.

We waited and watched…

On Monday, we checked the caterpillars to see how they were doing. We realised that something exciting happened during the weekend…they are not caterpillars anymore!

We now have five beautiful butterflies!

They are very pretty and they have lovely patterns. We  are watching them closely.

Soon we will realease our butterflies into our school garden when they are ready!

When they turn into butterflies, they flap their new wings very fast to pump  blood around them so that they grow stronger. – Isabelle

We will be looking after some caterpillars and hopefully they will grow into beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. This will help us to learn about how living-things grow and  life cycles. Our plan is to release them into our school garden!
