Mathematical Development

We created a 2 coloured pattern caterpillar by printing with paint and sponges






We used the building blocks outside to make caterpillars. We placed numbers to 10 on our caterpillars in the correct order.









Creative Development

We have been painting different minibeasts




We have been making caterpillar models using 'modroc'



ICT - 'Bee-Bot'

We listened to the story of the very hungry caterpillar and directed 'Bee Bot' to the different foods on the mat that the caterpillar ate.





Enjoying the sunshine!

Searching for 'minibeasts' in our grassy area






Drawing caterpillars and butterflies




Telling stories in the puppet theatre





We stuck together different coloured circles to make caterpillars

Mathematical Development

We have been talking about heavy and light objects. We went for a walk around the Nursery yard to search for things that were easy to pick up and things that were difficult for us to pick up.









We cut out heavy and light objects from catalogues.

Knowledge and Understanding

We have been looking at the different parts of a flower and naming them (petal, stem, leaf, root). We put white carnations in different coloured food colouring and watched the petals gradually change colour over a few days.






We spotted frog spawn in the school pond!
