M


any thanks to all the Year


7 students and others who continue to enthusiastically feed and monitor our feathered neighbours on the other side of the school fence. In the last few months we have watched at least 3 broods of Blue Tits and 4 broods of Great Tits successfully fledge. It’s been interesting to see how the parents patiently feed the flapping chicks, and teach them to feed themselves. Woodpeckers,

BUTTERFLIES YEAR 7 OBSERVATIONS


“The butterflies grew so fast from baby step 1 caterpillars to an organism that will live their lives peacefully in the air. The process was only 20 days. First it was a small caterpillar, then a chrysalis, then a successful butterfly. They are called Painted Ladies.” Kumba, Year 7

small, they grew through time, and turned into cocoons. At half term they turned into painted lady butterflies. Our class had the pleasure of watching this great species change. They have flown away and may be on their way to Africa soon because they need lovely African plants to eat during the winter.” Suhaib, Year 7


“The butterflies grew from caterpillars to beautiful butterflies. These splendid butterflies are born knowing their way to Africa and can travel really long distances. They come down low if the wind is in the wrong direction for Africa, and wait until it is blowing the right way, then fly high again.” Alex, Year 7
