In Reception we have been watching the amazing process of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Over the past few weeks, we have watched the caterpillars munch their way through many, many leaves. We then observed them weave silk pads to transform into a cocoon and finally, emerge as beautiful cabbage white butterflies. We have been releasing the butterflies throughout the week and the children enjoyed waving them off. They have also done some fantastic observational drawings of them using pencil and charcoal.
