# Learning about the Butterfly Life Cycle

  ![Image of Learning about the Butterfly Life Cycle](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_0398(3).jpeg)  2 June 2025   [Miss McKendrey](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/author/amckendrey)   [Year 2](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/category/year-2)

 A few weeks Year 2 took delivery of some caterpillar larva. They have closely observed them growing then transforming in to a pupa and eventually metamorphosing in to butterflies. The children were full of awe and wonder at the whole process. They were both sad but very excited to finally release them in the school grounds. What a privilege to observe the life cycle first hand!
