Duckling Class @FP Welcome Their Butterfly Friends! 

This week, the Reception Duckling class @FP had a very special moment in the garden – we released our butterflies.

Over the past few weeks, the children have been carefully looking after tiny caterpillars, watching them grow and change inside their classroom. They were amazed to see the caterpillars spin into chrysalises and waited patiently as they transformed.

On a sunny day, we all went outside to the school garden to release the butterflies. The children were so excited to open the net and watch the butterflies flutter into the sky. Some butterflies even landed nearby to say a little goodbye!

“It tickled my hand!” said Oluwayanmife, laughing.

We talked about how butterflies help flowers grow and how we can look after nature around us. The Ducklings waved and wished their butterfly friends a happy life in the garden.

What a wonderful way to finish our topic on growing and life cycles! Well done, Ducklings – you’ve been brilliant butterfly carers!
