Year 2 have had some very special friends in their classroom - caterpillars!

They have loved watching them grow from tiny caterpillars into beautiful butterflies, which we released into the nurture garden area. 

The children even named them - Steve, Ronaldo, Chloe and Mary. 

This linked wonderfully with our science topic 'Animals and their offspring' and the children learnt all about the process of metamorphosis. 

"They were so tiny when we got them, I can't believe they grew into butterflies!"

"I liked watching them in their chrysalis, they kept wiggling like they were trying to get comfy."

"I hope the butterflies come back to the playground to visit us."
