The Snowdrops have greatly enjoyed exploring the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar this term. They have engaged with lots of sensory and visual story sessions and have loved learning about how a caterpillar changes into a butterfly. It was lots of fun to read about all the things the caterpillar ate before he made his cocoon!

We had good fun guessing which objects would move in the wind. We used a hand fan and a hairdrier to create wind. The leaves and paper were so light they blew everywhere!
As part of out topic, the Beech pupils designed and created bubbly potions!
We chose which ingredients we wanted in our potions and how many of each ingredient we would need and then challenged a friend to make it.
We really enjoyed thinking about what magic would come from our potions and seeing the different reactions of the ingredients mixing together.

FAOL – Good Health and Wellbeing
*Successful Learners* *Confident Individuals* *Responsible Citizens*
The Snowdrops have really enjoyed looking at, touching, smelling and tasting a variety of healthy foods. For trying new healthy foods we followed the process of smelling it first, then kissing it with our lips, touching it with our tongues and then finally popping it in our mouths to eat. Everyone did really well following these steps for the first time.
We have also looked at and explored foods that are unhealthy for us and discuss why they were not good for us. We were then able to identify and sort a variety of foods into the 2 different groups of healthy and unhealthy.

The Snowdrops have participated actively in using different materials to create the fruits that the Hungry Caterpillar ate. We also created a large caterpillar for our wall. Everyone showed interest in using and exploring paint brushes, rollers or dabbers to create different effects on our fruit templates. The Snowdrops handled lots of different coloured materials and textures which we glued to our fruit shapes. Our wall looks very bright and colourful, showing what happened to the caterpillar in our story. We will be making butterflies next!

The Asteroids have been busy investigating the weights of different vegetables and comparing their weights and sizes. We tried to estimate which vegetable would be the heaviest then we checked our predictions using the balancing scales.
We worked hard to order some vegetables in order of heaviest to lightest, lightest to heaviest.

50 Things – Bug Hotel
Responsible Citizen/Confident Individual
To make our bug hotel, we recycled our plastic bottles and cut a space in the side. We had to use good looking skills to find different natural materials such as sticks, stones and fir cones, to stack inside our bottles to provide shelter for the bugs.
After finishing our bug hotels, we placed them in the garden to see if any bugs would be attracted to our hotels. We visited a few weeks later and found a few creepy crawlies in our hotels so we were very pleased to have helped the wildlife in our school grounds. Good job, Asteroids!
Today we were confident individuals and chose different art medias to ‘invent’ our own sweets as part of our theme work.
We watched a clip of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ for inspiration, then were successful learners and created our own designs.

Daisies – More Harvest Fun!
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS *
The Daisies class enjoyed participating in Harvest activities. We practised our cutting skills on a Harvest themed worksheet, used the SMARTboard to join dot to dots to draw a range of fruits and vegetables and had great fun during an apple and spoon race!
