It went well. I forgot to get the camera out while Charlotte was here but we kept a few back and later on I took photos of their release.

Charlotte started by showing us a presentation about butterflies then demonstrated. The children practised on paper butterflies then tried the real thing.

The whole morning was very exciting and thoroughly enjoyed by the children and teachers.

Please find attached Jayna posing with a just tagged butterfly and Robbie and Finn releasing some while room 14, Year 2 look on. Sorry the class look half asleep, they were actually looking into the sun.

Regards,

Jillian
