Let's join the children in Room 6 and follow the development of butterflies eggs over four weeks in their classroom. Watch as the children look carefully at the eggs and caterpillar food. See what happens after the eggs begin to hatch and caterpillars crawl out. Take a look at the changes that occur as the caterpillars develop into pupae, and then chrysalises. Share the delight of the children as the butterflies emerge and, finally, begin to fly.
An ideal read aloud for any primary science classroom.
