Our own Butterfly Farm

In class we learnt about the life cycle of a butterfly. Then on the 14th of May an amazing thing happened. Our teacher told us that we had 10 caterpillars that we were going to look after and hopefully see them turn into butterflies. We watched them very closely everyday to make sure that they had food and were safe and warm. It was very exciting watching them grow bigger everyday. 2 weeks later our caterpillars had turned to chrysalis and then slowly into butterflies. On the 8th of June it was a great but sad day. We had to release our butterflies. We brought them out to our school field and said "Slán go fóill" to John, Max, Rose, Joey, Ben, Jess, Daisy, Frank, Rainbow and Kay. We really miss them but some of them have come back to visit us when we were playing out in the yard which was lovely. We really loved learning about the life cycle of a butterfly.
