Charlie is currently growing some caterpillars. They arrived on Saturday in their own little tub with special food at the bottom. In just 5 days they have quadrupled in size! The Caterpillars have all been individually named - as there are 5 of them, they have been called Julian, Anne, Dick, George and Timmy in honour of the Famous Five (one of Charlie's favorite books!).
The Caterpillars join us for dinner every night, it is great fun to watch them wiggling about and munching on their food while we eat our dinner!
Eventually they will turn into chrysalis and will be moved into their butterfly cage. After they have hatched into Painted Lady butterflies we will release them into the garden.

Hello Charlie
I hope that you and the 5 caterpillers are well. Please put a photo of them on the blog so I can see their progress, especially when they turn into butterflies.
I hope school is ok and you are looking forward to the holidays.
Take care
Jo
