Bye Bye, Butterflies! It was a bittersweet but absolutely magical day on campus as our Kindergarten students gathered for their highly anticipated Butterfly Release Party!
Over the past few weeks, our classrooms turned into real-life laboratories as the children watched a true miracle of nature unfold. They carefully observed every single stage of the life cycle—from tiny, crawling caterpillars to quiet, resting chrysalises, and finally, to magnificent butterflies! Releasing them into our school garden was a beautiful moment of connection with nature. This hands-on journey brought their science inquiries to life, teaching our youngest learners about growth, change, and caring for living things.
Enjoy the wild, beautiful skies, little butterflies!

Our Junior Kindergarten students have been absolutely fascinated by the natural world lately, and they took their growing interest in caterpillars into the Visual Arts studio! Our youngest artists carefully coloured, cut, and assembled different pieces to bring their very own colourful caterpillars to life. As they worked, many students made a brilliant discovery, they noticed that a caterpillar could be created simply by connecting circles together!
