On Tuesday 24th May our butterflies started to emerge from their chrysalis.  They are Painted Lady butterflies.

On Thursday 26th May we took them to the John Muir wildlife garden at the back of the school to release them.

As you can see, they children were amazed when they flew out of their butterfly habitat.

Here you can see one resting in the grass not long after it was released.

The children thoroughly enjoyed our topic and now have a much better understanding about the life cycle of the butterfly.
