After half term, we had a very special delivery in the Hub – caterpillars came to stay with us! The children were excited to observe them and we spent time talking about how small they were when they first arrived. We discussed what might happen next and wondered how big they would grow.
To support our learning, we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and explored the life cycle of a butterfly, learning about each stage from caterpillar to chrysalis and finally to butterfly.
It has now been two weeks since the caterpillars arrived, and we have been fascinated by the changes taking place. They have recently started to form their chrysalises, which has been very exciting to observe. Keep a look out for our butterfly blog! 🦋
