Harinui students walked to the school Butterfly Garden to look at the swan plants, caterpillars, chrysalis and butterflies.
We talked about what we saw and studied the swan plant seed pods – discovering why they are called ‘swan plants!’
We enjoyed looking at our beautiful mural which describes the ‘Life-Cycle of the Butterfly.’

Everyone shared ideas with their buddies. We used interesting words to describe what we saw

Seed pods
Shaped like aswan
I can see them
We were sorry for the caterpillar on a stem with no leaves left so Mrs B moved it on to a bigger plant with lots of green leaves.
