It’s been so exciting watching our butterflies hatch out of their cocoons this week.  The children have tried so hard to be quiet around the houses and have spent a long time just watching the butterflies as their wings dry out.

We all know the Makaton sign for ‘butterfly’ too.  Noah and Ada-Grace were showing each other whilst they watched the butterflies together.

However, today we had to let our butterflies go and find a home.  They took a little bit of time to get used to being outside and were happy to sit on our hands so long as we were very still.  It was fabulous to be able to see them at such close quarters.

One of them had a flutter and then landed on Ada-Grace’s boot!  It was beautiful!
