On Monday, our Painted Lady butterflies emerged from their chrysalises. We fed them pieces of orange and sugar water. After a few days they were strong enough to fly away so we released them outside. Some of us held out our arms in the hope they might land on us and linger in the playground but they flew straight up into the sky!
We have really enjoyed seeing the butterfly life cycle in our class and learning about it in more depth. This morning we drew pictures and wrote about where we thought they might have gone. Some of us imagined that they will see a rainbow, fly to another country or find a lovely park somewhere.
Good luck, butterflies! 🦋
