Monarch Butterflies

On Friday Amelia brought in some butterflies and chrysalis for us to look at.


We could see the stages of development in the chrysalis, there was one nearly ready to hatch!  
We watched as Amelia let the two butterflies go.






We knew that the butterfly in the chrysalis was ready to hatch, and it did, at lunchtime.  The children were very excited to come back inside from play and see the newly hatched butterfly.



The children were also interested to know that the little brown patch on the bottom of the cage underneath the butterfly was its first poo!
