Jellyfish have thoroughly enjoyed making marble butterflies this week. We created a range of marble patterns with varying colours, allowed them to dry and then cut them to create a Eric Carle inspired butterfly. We are all really happy with how beautiful they look.

​Starfish have been looking closely at butterflies and caterpillars this week doing observational drawings of them from close up photos as well as using watercolour paints to paint pictures of them. They thought of different adjectives that would be good to describe the different caterpillars and butterflies and had a go at writing some of the adjectives about their drawings.

The Hungry Caterpillar

This week Starfish have been using The Hungry Caterpillar book as the focus of their learning. They have used their skills of cutting, sticking and stapling to make Hungry Caterpillar hats, found leaves in outdoor learning to create caterpillar collages and been drawing caterpillars on the interactive whiteboard. They have also been writing about the Hungry Caterpillar using word banks to support them and refining their fine motor skills by cutting out leaves and hole punching holes to make it look like the caterpillar has been munching at them.
