Please find below downloadable resources to help support learning from home or within school on the topics of: 

Life cycle of a Butterfly, to include anatomy, habitats and minibeasts.

Recent studies have shown that being close to nature and spending time outdoors has long term benefits on the mental and physical wellbeing in both children and adults.

Daily walks help to connect with nature by looking for caterpillars and butterflies and at the same time help Butterfly Conservation monitor butterfly numbers by recording your sightings.

Butterfly Conservation have developed a fantastic free app called iRecord Butterflies that guides you through the identification of any butterfly that you see in the UK and allows you to add your sighting to Butterfly Conservation’s national recording scheme. For more information and how to download the app follow the link below:
