Today our very first butterfly hatched out of its chrysalis just before lunch time. We left it to pump its wings and stretch out. After handwriting we passed it around so everyone could hold it. Some of us were lucky enough to have it 'pee' on us!
We used the computer to work out if it was a boy butterfly or a girl butterfly. We found out that the butterflies with the black spots on its hind wing were boys. We looked very hard at our butterfly but there were no black spots so we had a girl!
Some of us were a little worried that the butterfly might hurt us but it only tickled with its feet while it was holding onto our fingers. It was lovely to hear lots of encouraging words to our friends to have try if they were a little worried. We were very proud of everyone for having a go!
I wonder how many more butterflies we will have hatch?
We took it out to the butterfly garden to let it go. We hope it comes back to lay some eggs on our swan plants next year.
