Butterflies and Bees Learning At Home in April 2020

Hi Everyone,

Lots of amazing learning going on as usual and lots of wonderful achievements. It is hard to choose what to post but, since we have had such lovely weather today, I am going to start with signs of Spring.

Grace’s Bees and Birds garden started us off on a ‘nature’ theme so keep looking out for any signs of Spring and let us know what you see.

The theme has continued with Matilda being sent some caterpillars which she is going to look after until they become butterflies. Matilda’s caterpillars.

I spotted some peacock butterflies in my garden just before Matilda told us about her caterpillars.  This is a peacock butterfly:

We will need to wait to see what kind of butterflies Matilda’s caterpillars become. I can’t wait!

Ailsa and her family built a birdbox and left out some materials that robins could use to build a nest.

The bird box does have birds nesting in it, but not robins which look like this:

Ailsa’s birdbox has blue tits nesting in it. They look like this when they are fully grown:

More tomorrow.
