April’s Activity – The Lifecycle of a Butterfly
In April, students learned about the different stages of caterpillars turning into Butterflies. They observed the Caterpillar (Larva) stage where it feeds and grows to enter the Chrysalis (Pupa) stage where it undergoes significant changes to emerge as an Adult Butterfly. The students were intrigued by what changes they witnessed in the lifecycle, and were able to reflect on their own stages in life so far.
