Over the past few weeks we have been learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly. We have watched our caterpillars grow and turn into chrysalides/pupas and then magically become butterflies. Our clever children  have even learnt the word “metamorphosis” and know what it means. Yesterday we decided it was such a beautiful day that we should set them free. We found a Buddleia bush/tree which butterflies love and opened up the net home. Some stayed a while and some couldn’t wait to feed on the flowers. We could even see them feeding close up.

The whole cycle has been amazing to watch and we have all learnt so much about these incredible creatures (including the adults)
