Thank you to Miss Boyd and Primary 2 for allowing P1a and P1b the chance to help you. We loved watching you set your butteflies free.    We felt sad and happy at the same time because it was nice having butterflies in St Nicholas, but we know that butterflies belong outside.

We learnt that :

Butterflies start off as caterpillars – Kai.

After a wee while the caterpillars change into a chrysallis – Jacob.

They then turn into a butterfly – Fallon.

Butterflies only live for two weeks – Aoibhe.

Before they die, butterflies lay hundreds of eggs and these turn into caterpillars.

Butterflies like to eat leaves and fruit – Harry and Chloe.

Once we got back to class, we completed  a couple of butterfly themed activities.  We wrote a report on butterflies and we made a symmetrical stained glass window butterfly.
