The Snowdrops have been learning all about the life-cycle of a butterfly. They really enjoyed watching the life-cycle story, matching and sequencing pictures/sensory toys, joining in with the songs and could answer simple questions as part of our class discussions. We also made beautiful butterfly pictures.

The Snowdrops have shown lots of interest in our new theme story, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Everyone has responded well, exploring lots of story visual aids and pictures. We have also been learning some new Makaton signs for the different fruits and foods the hungry caterpillar ate. A favourite activity this week, has been creating sensory caterpillar bags and choosing different foods that we thought our caterpillars would like to eat. The Snowdrops showed interest and participated actively in using gel to fill their caterpillar’s tummy, making personal choices and using their fingers to make the food pictures move about.

The Snowdrops have enjoyed finding and exploring toys that we have to ‘push’ or ‘pull’. We also went on a walk around our school and found lots of different things that have to be pulled or pushed. Everyone found favourite toys to play with that had to be pushed or pulled!
