Life Cycle of a Butterfly in Nursery

Lesson: Understanding the World

Class: Nursery Year: 2021 - 2022

In nursery we have been learning about the life cycle of a butterfly.  We watched the caterpillars grow and then turn into a cocoon.  After two weeks they became butterflies.  We then fed them fruit and after a few days we released them into our butterfly garden at St. Peter's. To help us learn about the life cycle we painted caterpillars, made caterpillars with the playdough, made repeating patterns, we even made a butterfly dance. We have really enjoyed watching and learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly.
