Haere Mai to Maisie


















Maisie the Butterfly has hatched out ... and has created quite a stir.  One of our questions we have posed to the children is ... I wonder... how does a butterfly know how to fly?  Jack thoughts were '... they flap their wings'.  You are so right Jack.  We have also learnt some new words ... instinct ... they just know how !!!  Other new words include ... chrysalis, pupa, cocoon and metamorphosis (all the transformation stages).    The children are developing such a wonderful sense of respect and thoughtfulness as they delicately hold Maisie. 
 Great to see the living world ... in action.
