Since the tiny caterpillars arrived in Reception three weeks ago we have been watching them grow bigger day by day. Then this week we were thrilled to watch them becoming chrysalises. The chrysalises have now hardened and they have been moved into the butterfly habitat.

It will take between 7 and 14 days for the butterflies to emerge. We are hoping for this to happen on a school day but, just in case, we have left them some fruit and fresh flowers as food in case they emerge over the weekend.

Watch this space!
