Lifecycle of the Butterfly

3rd Jun 2025

We watched a video about the lifecycle of the butterfly, discovering how a caterpillar transforms by metamorphosis into a butterfly.  We learnt terms like caterpillar, larva, pupa and chrysalis.  

Using all this knowledge, we constructed a lifecycle wheel.  We had to cut carefully, fold accurately and use a safe method to punch holes in pieces of card.  We joined the pieces of card using a split pin.
