The Very Hungry Caterpillar

This week in Nursery we have been exploring the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.

We have been learning to retell the story to Ms Roberts when she visits us on Friday.

We tasted the fruit from the story and described how it tasted

"juicy"

 

"sweet"

 

 We have been making books and talking about what  happened in the story.

 

We have been retelling the story of The Hungry Caterpillar using props and remembering the repeated refrains.

We have turned our role play into a supermarket selling fresh potatoes, carrots, onions and beans. We used the scales to weigh them and wrote how many were in the pack and how much they cost. To consolidate your child's learning, perhaps next time you are at the supermarket you could chat to your child about the different vegetables and fruits there are and look for price labels.

Next week we will be thinking about healthy eating. We will be reading a book called Oliver's Fruit Salad and making fruit salads of our own - yummy!
