Butterfly progress

The caterpillars we had been looking after in school had become pupa, and had created their hard cases. Your teachers and teaching assistants took them home to look after and will be posting updates for you all here!

Videos!

Watch our butterflies in action. Very gentle wing movements here. Just getting used to them. Video sent from Miss Wise.
