We said goodbye to our butterflies this week. They had all hatched out of their cocoons and were ready to be set free. We took them outside in their net and sat quietly round as Ms Redpath opened it up. They took off gradually, one by one and flew off to the trees and bushes in our garden. What an interesting experience it was to watch them grow from tiny caterpillars. Our week ended with a lovely Profile evening when we brought in our mums, dads, brothers and sisters to share our fabulous Learning Diaries and to find out all the things we have done during our year in Reception. Next week we will spend some more time in our new class and then it will be a big 'tidying up' time as we get ready for our long summer holiday.
