As well as your daily phonics learning, this week we are reading the tale of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ by Eric Carle.
The literacy activities this week are:
1. Can you hear and say the initial sounds in some of the foods that the caterpillar eats. Do any of the foods start with the same letter? i.e. pear and plum. Challenge: can you you have a go at writing some of the sounds in the words.
2. Can you draw and label the life cycle of a butterfly?
3. Can you research and find out which other types of animals hatch from an egg and have a go at drawing them and labelling them?
4. Can you choose a different life cycle/animal to retell your own version of the story? I have used a baby dinosaur hatching from an egg. You could do a frog, dragon, chicken etc.
