Over the past week, our Nursery children have been making friends with a couple of new arrivals. Our Caterpillars! It has been a lot of fun and very interesting watching the caterpillars change from one stage to the next.
Butterflies and moths undergo a complete metamorphosis, which means there are four separate stages in the life cycle (egg, larva or Caterpillar, pupa or Chrysalis, and adult or Butterfly/Moth).
Each stage looks completely different and serves a different purpose in the life of the insect. We are all looking forward to our new Caterpillar friends becoming beautiful Butterflies in the next few days!
May we take this opportunity to offer a huge thank you to our parents for donating the funds to make this happen. The children and staff are very grateful!
