Butterflies

This term Junior Infants watched five caterpillars eat and grow. After around four weeks the caterpillars each settled into a chrysalis for 11 days before emerging as Painted Lady Butterflies. There was great excitement as we saw them emerge right in front of us in class! They let their wings dry and started to fly around their habitat. We fed them fruit and flowers before setting them free on a nice sunny day.

Look closely to see one of our butterflies emerge from its chrysalis!
