On Wednesday 5th April we joined the Cygnet Class on their annual Easter Egg Hunt. We just got back from the woods and the rain and hailstones came!
The caterpillars arrived in a cup and eat, spun silk and grew TEN times their original size! After seven to ten days they hung upside down and hardened into chrysalides (chrysalides are also known as pupae).
Once our chrysalides had hardened we gently moved them to the pop-up butterfly habitat. It took them about seven to ten days for them to complete the transformation to adult butterflies.
The children really enjoyed watching them change and grow and even made symmetrical butterfly pictures.
We let them out on Thursday the 31st March. to start the process all over again!
