We spent the afternoon outdoor learning. We went for a walk and in our groups we carefully picked a selection of interesting leaves. We used our classification sheet to identify the leaves.
When we came back inside, we created some beautiful pieces of artwork by painting our leaves and printing with them.

If you are unable to come to school due to COVID 19 please complete some of these activities and email work to your child’s class teacher.
Can you write a similar story about a ‘very hungry’ animal? What happens to it?
Retell the story from the point of view of the caterpillar. Why was it so hungry? How did it feel after eating so much?
Can you use alliteration to describe some of the food that are eaten? (e.g. lovely lollipops, scrumptious strawberries).
Read the story and try to retell it to a friend. Can you remember all of the food that was eaten, in the correct order?
Use Venn / Carroll diagrams to sort the foods that the caterpillar eats.
Count the total number of foods that were eaten by the caterpillar. How many of these were fruit / vegetable / contained meat etc?
Sort the foods that the caterpillar eats, in different ways. Which ones are healthy / unhealthy? Which are processed / unprocessed?
Think of a healthy / unhealthy meal for another hungry caterpillar.
Find out about the life cycles of caterpillars / butterflies. Find out about the life cycles of other animals.
Learn about metamorphosis. Find out about other animals who undergo metamorphosis.
Create a collage of a big, fat caterpillar!
Create another collage showing the beautiful butterfly.
Look at photographs of butterflies and paint your own. You could try folding a piece of paper in half and painting one half of a butterfly on one side. Then fold the paper over, press it down and open it out to reveal the full butterfly.
This term we are learning about minibeasts in Welsh. We have written dialogues in Welsh, between two minibeasts, using our understanding of personal details.
We listened carefully to the meaning of the word symmetry. Then we discussed the different shapes and made our very own stained-glass window symmetrical butterflies.
The children enjoyed using their reading skills to follow instructions of how to make a symmetrical butterfly. They chose the shapes that they were going to use and cut them out carefully.

The children enjoyed a fantastic week of additional well-being activities with Miss Sally. They developed their cutting skills by creating beautiful caterpillars and collages of habitats; exercised by gardening, doing yoga, playing dodgeball and going on the bikes.
