Our Little Adventurers have been learning all about life cycles and some of our two year olds have become fascinated by the book 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'.
Keen to nurture this interest amongst the Little Adventurers, our key carers Francesca and Shannon have taken the opportunity to extend the children's learning through a topic that has meaning to the children.
Following on from their food tasting, the children have been observing their 'pet caterpillars' over the last couple of weeks, watching as they built their cocoons and waiting patiently for them to hatch.
The ultimate reward came this week when they were able to release their butterflies in the garden! The children have been so enraptured in this process and are overjoyed to watch their butterflies flutter around in the garden looking for nectar to feed from.
