# Releasing the butterflies

  ![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/blog/67DAA3CA-A537-4B1B-A2C4-C8E67F9BF128.jpeg)   11 June 2022   [Penny Kemp](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/author/pkemp)   [Lower School (KS1)](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/category/lower-school-ks1)

We had a magical experience on Tuesday when we released all our Painted Lady butterflies in our meadow area of the field. The children reached in and helped the butterflies out of the net and were lucky enough to get a really close look. Some of the butterflies sat on their hands or arms for a long while before they flew away.

I took the net outside at lunchtime and lots of the middle and upper school children came and had a close look at the butterflies in the net too. They asked some interesting questions.

I didn’t manage to get a photo of everyone holding a butterfly (it’s quite tricky being photographer and teacher in very exciting times like this!) but take a look at these magic moments …
