St Bernadette’s Butterflies and Ladybirds

The children of St. Bernadette’s were very lucky to receive caterpillars and ladybird eggs for their classrooms. The children took care of them and watched them grow into beautiful butterflies and ladybirds. The ladybirds were fed greenflies and the butterflies enjoyed some tasty oranges.

Here our some pictures of the children releasing them into the school garden.
