Teacher saw a Cabbage White butterfly laying eggs on a cabbage leaf in her garden.
The eggs were orange and they were tiny. There were about 60 of them altogether. She brought the leaf with the eggs to school with her, and we all had a look at them.
When we came to school today we noticed that the eggs had changed. Now they are the smallest caterpillars we have ever seen, little transparent squiggles with a black head on each one. There is a tiny hole in the cabbage leaf where the tiny caterpillars have eaten it. We hope these caterpillars will grow and change into beautiful Cabbage White butterflies like their mother!

Our caterpillars are growing so fast, every day!

Look at how much they have grown, and how few of them there are now!

We don't need a magnifying glass to see our caterpillars now. They are growing fast, and they are eating lots.

Growing so much, even over the weekend. We can't believe how much they eat now.
