What a fab start to ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. There has been some amazing diary writing and pictures, artwork, projects and displays created so far. You really have WOW’d me with your creations. Take a look below.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar ?
As always below are lots of activity ideas and challenges – remember you could complete 1 or have a go at them all.
Let’s start today with some hungry caterpillar cosmic kids yoga – inspired by Matthew who had a go at this yesterday.
Activity 1
Activity 1 – Can you make your own caterpillars? You don’t have to use paint, you could use pens/pencils and draw different length caterpillars. What shape will the body parts be? How about making a caterpillar family. Can you make a longer one? A shorter one? A bigger one? A smaller one? Once you have made your own caterpillars have a go at counting and adding how many body parts your caterpillar has. Can you make one that has 1 more body part, 1 less body part? Then have a go at using different colours to create a pattern caterpillar or a funky pattern mini beast.
Activity 2
Activity 2 – Take a look in your fruit bowl, what can you see? How many pieces of fruit are there? Is there any in the fridge? What different fruits can you see? Can you make a pattern or another art display with your fruit? Can you balance your fruit and build a tower? Be careful nothing falls on the floor.
Can you draw a picture of your favourite fruit? Have a go at labelling or write and tell me about your favourite fruit.
An activity I love to do is make a fruit dictionary. Can you think of a fruit for every letter of the alphabet? This is tricky (you could use vegetables too). You could tell your grown up, voice record your answers or use your phonics to write them and make your own fruit dictionary. All of this can be done on paper but below are some resources if you can and wish to print.
I also love this activity below to tell me which are your favourite fruits. You could draw your own and put faces on them.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar days of the week diary challenge
There has been some fab pictures and diaries started so far. In the story the caterpillar eats different things each day.
Activity – Can you keep your very own diary of what he ate? Each day I will ask you what he ate on that day. You could draw what he ate and tell your grown up, FS2’s have a go at labelling your picture in your diary – remember to use your phonics to sound out. Yesterday was Monday, what day is it today? Can you remember what he ate on T……? Have a look at some diary/picture examples from the children at the top of this post.
The upgrade from 2Build a Profile to ‘Evidence Me’
Yesterday you should have all received a text, an email From Evidence Me with a new activation link and then an email from me explaining the changes. Please check your emails and contact me if you have not received the emails. This new upgraded system has so many more benefits and now enables you to log on to your child’s profile and view observations from school and home, past and present. There has been so much positive feedback so far. Please take time to explore the new app/web suite online and have a go at uploading your own picture/observation from home. Please do contact me on the class email fsbrandesburton@gmail.com if you have any questions or queries. Please DO NOT send pictures to the 2Build a Profile email address now (if any sent they will still link to your child’s profile) but please use the new Evidence Me app/web suite.
Have a great day, I look forward to seeing your activities and creations later. Miss Mc.
