We are starting our topic on The Very Hungry Caterpillar this week.
The children will listen to the story lots this week and have the opportunity to watch the animated version. They will have the chance to create The Very Hungry Caterpillar using a variety of different media and materials as well as be introduced to the terms symmetry and symmetrical where they will paint symmetrical butterflies by folding the paper.
The children will have a chance to make their own fruit skewers and talk about healthy and unhealthy food in their groups this week, following from what The Very Hungry Caterpillar ate in the story.
The children will also be investigating what mini-beasts they can find outside. We have some new arrivals in the classroom as well - 5 caterpillars! The children will watch these caterpillars grow and turn into butterflies over the next few weeks.
