YEAR 1’S FLUTTERING FUN: DISCOVERING THE BUTTERFLY LIFE CYCLE!

, ,

 

In Year 1, we’ve been extremely fortunate to have a lovely parent take some amazing photos for us, documenting the life cycle of a butterfly. OF COURSE, when Macie’s mum offered to let us release the butterflies at school, we excitedly said, “YES PLEASE!”

The children have been absolutely fascinated watching the stages of the life cycle come to life through informative videos and photos. This was a fantastic opportunity to bring our Science lessons of life cycles into the classroom and connect them to real-life experiences. A big THANK YOU to Macie and her mum for making this wonderful experience possible!
