Our Butterfly Garden





Year 1 and 2 have been finding out which flowers attract butterflies so we can plant them in our new butterfly garden beds. Mrs Ryan and Mrs Heath took a child from each room to the garden centre to choose the plants for each class. We took a list with photos of the flowers we wanted to buy with us. We found out that butterflies can't see very well and like flowers with bright colours and lots of nectar which they drink. Back at school everyone planted their class plants and now we will watch for butterflies to come and drink nectar from them.
