Raising our butterflies
Having our own 'pet' caterpillars we have watched them grow, change into their chrysalis and waited as they have finally emerged as beautiful butterflies. It is so lovely to see children experiencing an environment where they develop working theories for making sense of the natural world and developing a sense of responsibility for the living world and knowledge about how to care for it. Hearing the many questions for teachers and peers to answer, hearing the conversations children have with the families and whanau as they show them the caterpillars and chrysalis only confirms the learning that is happening daily.
