To help us learn this we read the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar and did lots of activities to help us learn the story as well as developing some of our other skills.
We used sequencing cards to get the story in the right order. We had to use our reading skills to help us and look at the book to check we had things in the right order. Doing this also helped us practise our counting and develop our understanding of the days of the week!
We practised our number recognition and ordering using caterpillars with numbers on.
We took turns and waited patiently as we played our Very Hungry Caterpillar game. To know how to play we had to listen carefully to instructions and we had to make sure we waited until it was our turn.
We did some writing about what happens in the story or what we know about caterpillars and butterflies.
We matched picture cards with the food the caterpillar eats with the right day of the week. We had to look in the book to make sure we had got it right.
We used our fine motor skills as we manipulated the playdough to make different things including a leaf, legs for the caterpillar, a cocoon and wings for the butterfly.
Check back later in the week to find out what we learn about butterflies and see some of our beautiful butterfly pictures!
