Cooper


Hello Cooper friends and families

On Monday we discovered that our butterflies had nibbled their way out of their cocoons! We were very excited to see that they were in fact the Small Citrus Butterfly. As a class we decided that it would be best to let the butterflies go in the yard. For the remainder of the week the class were busy discussing what they thought the butterflies were doing now and whether we were going to lay eggs on the citrus tree again, letting us observe their lifecycle again.

Ollie: I see the butterflies but where are the caterpillars hiding?
Stefan: They turned into butterflies, the caterpillars.
Anay: All the butterflies have popped out. Now the butterflies can flutter (flaps arms) and hang upside down like a bats.

Jenson: Maybe they are little butterflies and they have gone off to lay some little tiny eggs.
Ben: The little butterflies have gone out to lay some butterfly eggs.
Johnny: Butterflies are really good. I love butterflies.

We hope you have a lovely long weekend!
