The butterflies have emerged!
The butterflies emerged from the chrysalides on Sunday and they looked amazing! They flapped their wings to dry them and had little naps. We mixed sugar and water to make a nectar like liquid which the butterflies drink to give them energy.
On Tuedsay we set them free in our school grounds near the flowers so that they could get nectar easily. Some of the children were a bit nervous when the butterflies set off out of their net as they were flying around very close to us!!
We would to thank all the children and their families who helped to take care of them over the last few wekends and also to Mr. McCloskey for enabling us to experience this life cycle taking place in our own classroom. We will miss having our ten little friends in the classroom and we have really enjoyed this wonderful experience.
