Today in the science area we tried out a new experiment. How do we make our caterpillars \ud83d\udc1b move. Firstly we had some small pieces of paper roll and drew on our caterpillar \ud83d\udc1b.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The best way to make a caterpillar shape was to roll the paper round a pencil this was quite tricky to manage ! \u00a0( we had a little help). And then with a squish and a squeeze we pushed our caterpillar off the pencil.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were now ready to create the magic movement. We used our pipettes to drop a few drops of water onto them and they grew bigger, wiggled around and it just \u201cgrowed so fast\u201d. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The boys and girls noticed they were different sizes and wanted to make their own caterpillar families. They discovered using different sizes of paper towel made mummy,daddy,baby caterpillars. \u201cThis looks like the big one\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the children enjoyed putting colours on the paper towels , then adding water then watched as the shapes and patterns appeared. \u201c Mine is like the sunset in the sky \u201c.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who new a piece of kitchen roll could be so much fun . We used our fine motor skills also \u00a0named shapes and colours and even did some measuring . Well Done.<\/p>\n
