Inquiry

This term we are learning about change which takes place during a living thing's lifecycle and caring for a plant and looking after a garden. 

Today we put our swan plant outside. We are hoping a butterfly dropped some eggs onto our swan plant so we can observe the butterfly life cycle in action! 

We went on a Butterfly Hunt to see where our butterflies go after they have changed into a butterfly. We found some butterflies across the road in the Senior School garden. We discussed why we thought the butterflies enjoyed living there. We brainstormed what we need in our class garden so our butterflies stay over our side of the school!

These were some of our thoughts: 

• We need flowers in our garden so the butterflies have nectar to eat
• We need water near by for the butterflies to drink
• We need some bushy areas near our garden so the butterflies can shade from the sun
