Primary 2 and 2/1 are really excited to welcome new guests to their classrooms….caterpillars! As part of our topic ‘Living Things’ we are going to be following the life cycle of a caterpillar as it grows into a beautiful butterfly then we will set it free.  We devised our own questions that we would like to find out about the creatures and hope to be able to answer them by the end of the topic.  We have learned so many facts already!
