This weeks book of the week has been ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ by Eric Carle.

Today we had a ‘Hungry Caterpillar’ afternoon where we did lots of activities linked to the story.

We listened to the story on CD whilst using the story props to act it out.

In maths we have been learning about symmetry and patterns so we each created our very own Hungry Caterpillar using a colour or shape pattern.

We used the different pattern activities and played pattern games on the computer with a partner.

 

 

Our favourite game was the Hungry Caterpillar domino set. We played in groups of 4.

While we were using the different activities Mrs Watson called us over in groups to make our own symmetrical butterfly. We have been learning all about symmetry in maths. We used the paint on one side of the butterfly and then folded it over to make it symmetrical.

What a fun afternoon!
