As you know our butterfly emerged from its chrysalis skin on the weekend while we weren't there to witness Dino's transformation. Our butterfly had flown of before we could say goodbye!. The good news is we were watching another chrysalis and we were able to witness the butterfly emerging and drying its wings tis time. KP were so excited to see this final stage of the butterfly life cycle. This butterfly was also in a hurry to fly off, so unfortunately we all didn't have the chance to hold it. KP have thoroughly enjoyed this unit of work on life cycles this term!

KP are so excited because we are about to witness the life cycle of a Monarch Butterfly in real life! Thanks to Mrs Badham who has found all Kinder classes an egg that has just been laid by a Monarch Butterfly on a milkweed plant. Monarch females usually lay a single egg on a milkweed plant, often on the bottom of a leaf near the top of the plant. As females lay their eggs, they secrete a small amount of glue to attach the eggs directly to the plant. The egg is tiny and it's an off-white colour. The egg could hatch in about four days; it does depend on the temperature though. We are so excited and we will keep you posted!
