The Very Hungry Caterpillar

A big welcome back! We hope you had a good Easter break involving the consumption of
one or two chocolate eggs!

We look forward to, as always,  hearing the children's accounts of what they've been up to.

It's hard to believe that we're already in the first half of the Summer term, time flies!

During this first week back we're going to be looking at the much loved book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.

This book prompts plenty of discussion about the process of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly (UW), favourite and healthy  foods, counting fun and  colour recognition. Also, as with all the books we look at, we'll be looking at focus and recall of the story ( L ).


During the week we'll be doing two activities. Firstly we'll be painting folded butterfly outlines, and then all of the children will be creating a caterpillar food trail involving a threading activity.

In addition we will be loaning out the book to children and parents to enjoy at home ( we have several copies ), please do fill in the accompanying feedback form . Thank you.
