***We have caterpillars!***

***Our Nursery children have been discovering the miracle of metamorphosis this week as they carefully observe the tiny caterpillars in vials,  before the caterpillars undergo an amazing transformation into Painted Lady Butterflies. This is an amazing learning opportunity for the children to witness and learn about.***

***The children have also been listening to the beautifully illustrated story, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and looking at photos of the Life cycle of a Butterfly.***
