Releasing the butterflies

Since half term, we have been watching caterpillars metamorphosise into butterflies in the science classroom!  The last of our butterflies hatched at the start of the week, so this Friday it was time to release them into their natural habitat.

Our hatched butterflies in their classroom habitat

They were unsure at first...

...but the butterflies soon started enjoying the smells and colours of the flower beds!

We hope they will stay around the school grounds to help pollinate our plants!
