As part of our previous theme ‘What on earth?’ and then linking into our current theme ‘Over the Rainbow’ Reception were very lucky to look after some caterpillars. We investigated the life cycle and then watched out caterpillars grow, change to the chrysalis stage and then finally our beautiful butterflies emerged! We observed them for a day or two and fed them fruit, when they were ready, we let them go free! Some of them flew off straight away, but one of them stayed as it seemed to like sitting with one of our girls!
