It took just two hours for all five of our butterflies to emerge from their chrysalises. By lunchtime on Monday, it was very warm and the sun was trying to come out-perfect conditions for releasing them.
We took the boys out on to the field behind the Music block and unzipped the net. Very slowly, two of the butterflies took flight and we watched as they fluttered into the air. Then we waited, and waited, and waited. The others just didn’t want to leave us, it seemed. On return to the classroom, two were perched on the edge of the net outside and there they stayed for over an hour! Eventually they left us. We hope you enjoy the pictures below.
