Sit up tall with legs outstretched to become a caterpillar. Imagine you're a wiggly caterpillar that is attached to a leaf and your skin is started to shed to reveal a hard skin underneath. We've now going to sit quietly before we turn into a colourful butterfly (wait several seconds). Wow! Look you're turning into a butterfly. Bend your knees. Bring the bottoms of your feet together and hold onto them. We're going to flap our wings and fly from our leaves. Gently bounce your knees up and down. Well done everybody. You're flying.

Patience. Transformation. Awakens tired legs.

Knee injury.
