Hi Children

Hi Children

I have been feeding our butterfly ripe banana. Did you know that butterflies taste with their feet and they feed from over 100 types of plants which makes them great pollinators. Do you know any fun facts about butterflies? Jen

Hi Children,

Our Final butterfly has emerged from its chrysalis! It has lots of beautiful colours. Can you spot the red on the netting? What do you think this could be? Jen

Hello Children,

Our 3 Butterflies are free to fly today. My son helped to release them. They need to be released on a hot day so we are lucky to have the sun again.

I hope they enjoy their freedom. Remember, we still have one caterpillar to emerge so keep a lookout for the updates on this last one.

There are further updates on Twitter today with more photos and video clips. Take Care Jen

Good Morning Children.

We now have 3 butterflies. There is 1 caterpillar still to emerge From its chrysalis.
I have provided the butterflies with food. They have fruit, flowers for the nectar and sugar water. I wonder what they like best? Any ideas?

I hope you are enjoying the sunshine. Have you had any butterflies visit your garden?
