Metamorphosis in action!

 Over the last few weeks, we have nurtured and watched our caterpillars grow, form their chrysalis and then today, the last of them transformed into a beautiful butterfly!

The children have been fascinated each day to see if they have changed and what they had eaten and it has been lovely to share this with them!

After much hesitation and some guidance, 8 of the 9 butterflies flew away this afternoon! One (which was the smallest and last to transform) didn't want to leave us and will be going home with Mrs Brown until it is ready to go!
