I loved seeing your minibeast pictures and models last week.
This week, we are learning about caterpillars and butterflies.
Our book of the week is ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ by Eric Carle. Read ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ book if you have it or listen to the author reading it here:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nD_uIFHpscw
The book teaches all about the life cycle of a caterpillar.
Can you look at the picture of the life cycle of a caterpillar and talk about what happens, starting with the egg. In the story the caterpillar spins a cocoon. A cocoon is also called a pupa or a chrysalis.
Can you make your own caterpillar life cycle picture?
You could print out and stick these pictures or draw your own.
I am looking forward to hearing about and seeing your learning today.
Love from Miss Siswick. (I will be teaching at school so I will not be able to respond until later today.)
It would really help me if you could upload photos straight to the media file (instructions are here: sharing photos and files) as they get to me more quickly and easily as they don’t have to go via the office and my e-mail. Please can either your child’s name or face (but not both) be visible on any photos. Many thanks.
Hello Miss Siswick
Ania herself told the whole story. She said that the caterpillar hatches out of the egg, then eats a lot of food, makes a cocoon and a beautiful butterfly emerges from the cocoon.
Ania drew caterpillar life cycle picture
Good morning Miss Siswick
Esme loves this book!
She used potato, sponge, brush and fingerprints to paint the life cycl of the caterpillar
She wanted to mix colours and experiment with different textures
A great activity!!!
Alexander says the caterpillar comes out of the egg, eats leaves, becomes a cocoon and then breaks out of the cocoon as a beautiful butterfly. He made a poster!
Sorry we have not posted recently. We love the Very Hungry Caterpillar, especially when the caterpillar turns into a butterfly !
Mum has read the book to us too. Sophia wants a pet caterpillar now 🙂
Good afternoon, Fabiola enjoyed listening to the story, she did so a couple of times. We also watched real caterpillars eating leaves. She quite knows the caterpillar lifecycle.
