• This term all the year 1 classes have been learning about butterflies and caterpillars for our inquiry topic.
• Our key question was: How can we make a habitat to attract butterflies to Pakuranga Heights school?

We went for a walk around the school and discovered we needed more plants to
attract butterflies to our school.
Room 3 decided to plant a butterfly garden outside our
room.We will share with you what we did.
