Our year 1&2 inquiry this term is to find out how to attract monarch butterflies to our new garden plots in the playground outside the staffroom. We will then study plant and butterfly life cycles.
We went for a walk around the school to see if we could find some butterflies and to watch what they were doing.
Over the road in the year 7&8 senior school we found lots of white butterflies around the vegetables and one monarch by the flowers.
We think that butterflies like swan plants and also flowers to land on so we are going to watch to see which flowers the butterflies fly to most. Then we will plant the kinds they like in our new gardens.
Here we are investigating the plants and flowers in the senior school!
