--- title: "Butterflies in Reception" url: "https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2017-05-12-17-26-06-butterflies-in-reception" school: "Gillibrand Primary School" --- # Butterflies in Reception 12 May 2017 [Class of 2016](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/category/class-of-2016) Since the tiny caterpillars arrived in Reception three weeks ago we have been watching them grow bigger day by day. Then this week we were thrilled to watch them becoming chrysalises. The chrysalises have now hardened and they have been moved into the butterfly habitat. It will take between 7 and 14 days for the butterflies to emerge. We are hoping for this to happen on a school day but, just in case, we have left them some fruit and fresh flowers as food in case they emerge over the weekend. Watch this space! ### Butterfly Watch [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/12397/DSC02020.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/12397/DSC02020.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/12397/DSC02021.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/12397/DSC02021.JPG) [ SATs Party ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2017-05-12-16-22-30-sats-party) [The Earth ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2017-05-15-16-07-54-the-earth) ### Our School - [Headteacher's Welcome](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/headteacher-s-welcome) - [School Vision ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision) - [Mission Statement](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision/mission-statement) - [Academy Trust Details](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/academy-trust-details) - [Financial Information](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/financial-information) - [History](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/history) - [Our School Day](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/our-school-day) - [Staff list](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/meet-the-staff) - [Job Vacancies](https://recruit.sampeople.co.uk/Jobboard/Trust/aspirationalfutures/00002) - Governors - [Local Governing Board](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/governors) - [Special Educational Needs](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/sen) - [Ofsted](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/performance-reports) - [Performance](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/performance-reports/performance) - [Policies](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/policies) - [British Values Statement](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/british-values-statement) - [General data Protection Regulation (GDPR)](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/data-protection-notice) - [Mental Health & Wellbeing](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/mental-health-wellbeing) - [Equalities](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/equalities) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) - [Staff Email](https://mail.google.com/) - [Staff Use Only](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/staff-use-only) - [OPAL Lunchtimes](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/opal-lunchtimes) - [Sustainability](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/sustainability) ![Gillibrand Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/logo/gillibrand_logo_2.png) #### Gillibrand Primary School Grosvenor Road Chorley PR7 2PJ 01257 274983 #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) © Copyright 2015–2026 Gillibrand Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
