Monarch Fun!

In Room 10 this Term we have had some special visitors!
We have 3 Swan plants with Monarch Caterpillars.

Can you spot the baby caterpillar?
We have watched baby caterpillars grow into big fat caterpillars and shed their skin.

We have seen the caterpillars wiggling and jiggling into their cocoon sleeping bags.

We have looked carefully at the gold breathing holes and watched the cocoons getting darker.

We have seen the Monarch Butterfly push out of its cocoon and dry its crumpled wings.

We have taken the butterflies outside and put them on the trees.

We have watched them fly away to find some yummy nectar!


By Room 10.


Full and fat ready to make his cocoon!





Very hungry caterpillars, not many leaves left!!!
