We have some exciting news to share from the Primary Two Butterfly Garden! Over the holiday there has been a change in our caterpillars! They have changed into a Pupa which is the next stage in their life cycle.
The Pupa can also be called the Chrysalis. Inside the Pupa the caterpillar is turning into a Butterfly. Here is a picture of what it looks like in our class.
Tuesday was the first time we got to see it. Primary Two know that because it is now in a Chrysalis it is very delicate so they cannot pick up the tubs incase it falls down.
When we saw the Pupa we thought…
They are brilliant – Connor E
Fantastic – Craig
It was cool – Callum I
It looks awesome – Amy
They look delicate – Nieve
They look lovely – Olivia
Soon they are going to turn into Butterflies in about 1 week. They will not be able to fit in the little tubs so they will need to be moved very very carefully into the net. We cannot wait to see what happens next!
When the butterflies emerge would any classes like to come and see them?
