Our Caterpillar Journey - Part five

24th June - Our caterpillars have now hardened into chrysalides. We waited three days before carefully transferring our fully formed chrysalides into their hatching habitat. We will wait patiently for the magical moment they emerge as beautiful butterflies, 🦋

We made playdough cakes using flour and soap. We measured out the ingredients ourselves using the scoops. We then mixed it together to make cakes. They smelt delicious. 🍰

19th June - Our Caterpillars have climbed to the top of the cup to attach themselves to the paper lid. We can’t wait to see what happens next! 🐛

Recognising and continuing a pattern - We finished off the pattern on our Caterpillars.🐛

We having been making different flavoured ice cream in our playdough today. Who likes the same flavour ice cream as The Very Hungry Caterpillar? 🍦 🐛

We designed our own butterflies today. We tried our best to make both butterflies wings the same before carefully cutting it out! 🦋

Our Caterpillar Journey - Part One 

7th June- We have been reading the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar in nursery. The children were so interested in learning how a caterpillar changes into a butterfly, we have purchased our very own live butterfly garden. Mrs Ehlen introduced it to the nursery children this morning, we are really excited about watching our own caterpillars 🐛 change into butterflies 🦋

A few pictures from our last swimming session! 🏊‍♂️

After reading the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar, we decided to make our very own caterpillars. 🐛

Mark making - fine motor skills

Fine motor/maths activity - The children enjoyed making their own clocks independently following the template left out for them to follow. They tried really hard to write the numbers on their clocks so they could tell us what time it was!
