The Very Hungry Caterpillar Summer 5
We have had a great time learning about The Very Hungry Caterpillar this week in school! We talked about the story and the life cycle of a butterfly.
Ask your grownups to help you complete the following caterpillar challenges! We hope you have lots of fun!
- Go onto YOUTUBE and listen to the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkYmvxP0AJI
- Create a butterfly life cycle using different shaped pasta (or draw your own)
- Here is an example.
- Make a paper chain caterpillar
- Learn the song – The Tiny caterpillar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOlbSE0CmNM
There’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf (wiggle, wiggle)
There’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf (wiggle, wiggle)
There’s a tiny caterpillar, tiny caterpillar,
There’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf (wiggle, wiggle)
He will eat the leaves around him ‘til he’s full (munch, munch)
He will eat the leaves around him ‘til he’s full (munch, munch)
He will eat the leaves around, eat the leaves around
He will eat the leaves around him ‘til he’s full (munch, munch)
A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home (spin, spin)
A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home (spin, spin)
A cocoon is what he’s spinning, cocoon is what he’s spinning,
A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home (spin, spin)
Then he’ll be a butterfly and flap away (flap, flap)
Then he’ll be a butterfly and fly away (flap, flap)
Then he’ll be a butterfly, be a butterfly,
Then he’ll be a butterfly and fly away (flap, flap)
- The very Hungry caterpillar loves eating lots of food! See if you can try some new foods, these could include fruits and vegetables. You could write a list of the foods you liked or didn’t like. (you could take photos and sent them to the reception email address for all your teachers to see!)
- Go on a ‘mini beast’ hunt and look for different creatures – will you find any caterpillars or butterflies?
It would be lovely for you to send us more of your home learning to our reception email address. We hope you enjoy completing these activities with your grownups and that you are staying safe.
Remember to keep reading at home!
