Nursery Enjoy Leaning about Caterpillars!

This week in Nursery, we started a new story—The Very Hungry Caterpillar—which has quickly become a favourite. Inspired by the story, we created our own caterpillars using various materials and techniques, including playdough, paint stamping with balloons, handprints and using food such as tomatoes, cucumbers and raisins! We also explored symmetry by spreading paint on one side of a sheet, folding it, and revealing a beautiful butterfly shape.

We were thrilled to welcome five new “pets” to Nursery—adorable caterpillars that are slowly eating, growing, and transforming into butterflies. Watching them change each day has brought our story to life, sparking excitement and curiosity among the children.

In Maths, we focused on recognising, continuing and creating A-B-A-B patterns. The children had fun making patterns with cubes, fruits, body movements and anything they could find in our provision.

We look forward to another exciting week ahead!
