We read a wonderful story called “Ben plants a butterfly garden” and decided that we would like to create our own butterfly patch in our garden. Some of us prepared the soil, others went and collected more top soil from a patch of mole hills in forest schools. We planted a wild flower mix and also some nasturtiums. Some of us searched for butterfly eggs around the garden and some of us took mint cuttings which we put in water to see if they would grow roots. We finished off our day with a snack of water melon and reading our class book Peepo in the sun.
