The caterpillars finally came out of their cocoons, not as caterpillars but as beautiful butterflies. We released them in the nursery garden, where they will hopefully start the life cycle all over again.

More Spring
We have been continuing to learn about spring. We are eagerly awaiting the next stage in the caterpillar life cycle, with the caterpillars already in their cocoons! We have been learning about the different parts of a flower, counting petals and creating still life flower paintings. More planting in our new planters too.
Springtime
We have been continuing to learn about spring. We used a rain gauge to record the amount of rainfall and used charts to display our findings. We also planted fruit bushes and gave the nursery garden a spring clean!
Science Investigation
Last week, we carried out a science investigation over three days, in order to discover if there was a link between the gradient of a ramp and the distance travelled by a toy car. Each day, we gathered in our groups to discuss and predict possible outcomes. We had great fun playing with the ramps and cars. At the end of the week, we discussed our findings and discovered that the higher the ramp, the further the car went. Have a look.
