Introduction
Here is a fun and engaging version of Eric Carle’s popular story The Hungry Caterpillar. It is aimed at P1-3 and involves a rap, chanting, actions and follow up literacy and science activities.
Younger pupils can enjoy watching the story presented in a new way with rap
music whilst learning some actions and keeping the beat. There are further
activities for phonics and the science of life cycles.
Older pupils can also challenge themselves to learn and chant bits of the
rap and use the alliterative writing to stimulate creative writing of their own.
There are interactive teaching videos and further activities you can use in your classroom.
