Butterfly Day in Room 2

We have been so lucky with our butterfly corner in Room 2 thanks to Whaea Philippa. The children have been able to view (at close range) the butterfly life cycle over and over again. On this particular day, there were about 12 butterflies that went from chrysalis's into wet crumpled butterflies, through to dry and flapping and lastly out the window. They have been able to use magnifying glasses to look closely at the process and learned so much about why we can only observe (rather than touch) like Scientists often do. The children were also fascinated with some of the crazy places the caterpillars chose to make their chrysalis.
