We have butterflies 🦋 8 painted ladies!
What a great experience this has been for the children to watch, learn, and discover together. From tiny caterpillars, they transformed into chrysalises… and now, beautiful butterflies!
Seeing the full life cycle up close has sparked so much curiosity, excitement, and wonder... a learning moment for us all 🐛 🌿 🦋

We’ve been enjoying the lovely weather with lots of outdoor play and activities. The children have had great fun with water play, exploring pouring, splashing and experimenting, as well as enjoying lots more activities and learning opportunities outdoors 💦🌿
We’ve been keeping everyone safe in the sun with sun cream, hats, regular drinks and plenty of time in the shade. ☀️
