Just before half-term we received some visitors to Class 1, some caterpillars.
The children were fascinated and it led to a great discussion.
“They’re tiny.” Lewis
“I can see one moving up the pot.” Zirian
“There’s hard sand at the bottom.” Dylan
“What is it?” Eden
Over half-term the caterpillars grew and grew and some even formed a chrysalis. There was one left and we kept a close eye but we missed it. It formed while we were having our lunch.
Today we moved them into the net.
The children were very careful as they looked at the chrysalises.
“They spikey.” Arya
“They were wiggling because they thought it was a predator.” Eden
