Today Harry and his mum brought a bug catcher to school to share with the class. We were amazed to see a butterfly that had just hatched out , 3 chrysalis and a caterpillar hanging, ready to change into one too. We watched and waited all all day but the caterpillar was still hanging. perhaps it is shy!!!
At the end of the day we carefully took the butterfly out and it climbed up Harry's top and onto his nose! We put it on the swan plant outside Room 4. We found another butterfly there too. We watched the butterfly flap it's wings. It was a girl butterfly. We hope it isn't too cold for butterflies. It is pretty cold for us.
Thanks for sharing with Room 2. Mrs Paterson will keep and eye on the nearly black chrysalis over the weekend just in case it hatches.
