Over the last few days our butterflies have been arriving, we have been carefully watching them roll out their tongues to take a drink of the sugar water and to fly around the enclosure. We could look at the patterns on their wings - the wings are matching with symmetry. This means both wings are exactly the same.
Today Miss Donoghue’s class carefully held their butterflies in their hands and then watched them fly away. Mrs McCoy class is waiting for one more butterfly to arrive and hopes to release them tomorrow.
The butterflies we had are called Painted Ladies.
