What a beautiful start we had to our week.
Miss Mason! Look! We see the butterfly. Two butterflies- Sofia

After observing the weather large butterflies trying to fly around in the container we decided that we needed to let them go outside.
They need to look for food- Clementine
They eat flowers- Elsa
Passion fruit- Lola
They eat nectar from the flowers- Emma
They tasting with their feet- Didier
Once the rain had cleared up we set off to our outdoor learning environment to find the best spot to release our beautiful butterflies. Emma lead us straight to the flower beds, knowing that the butterflies would find what they were looking for there. The first butterfly was ready to fly away, so up and away she flew, over the fence looking for greener pastures. The second butterfly took a little longer to stretch her wings, so stayed a while in the flower bed. This gave us the opportunity to take a closer look at her.

This was a meaningful experience, fostering the children’s capacity to
understand and respect their natural environment and the interdependence
between people, plants, animals and the land.
