The group inside the hall drew around a small person from Class 1 and a taller person from class 3 on to wallpaper. Once [...]

So here it is, the moment Class 1 have all been waiting for... our beautiful butterflies have come out to say hello!

They kept still for a while and gave their wings time to dry, we even saw bits of red (which looked a bit [...]
