Today we arrived in class and had a look at the butterfly habitat. There was a BIG surprise. We had three butterflies fluttering about! Mrs Johnston managed to get some fruit and we scored the fruit and put it in the habitat so the butterflies had some food. We watched the new butterflies smell the fruit with their antennae, taste with  their feet and unfurl their proboscises to sip the nectar!

After playtime we noticed that we had a new butterfly…….We now have four  beautiful Painted Lady butterflies fluttering in the habitat! Fingers crossed that we have five tomorrow!!

We will make up the butterfly food and feed them everyday until they are ready to fly away!
