Our story this week has been The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle as we have started to think about changes and transitions and how the children feel about moving to their new class in September.
The children have learned about the life cycle of a butterfly, comparing it to other lifecycles we have previously learned about such as plants/seeds, frogs, chicks and humans. We have watched videos of caterpillars spinning their chrysalides and the butterflies that emerge from them and explored pictures of different caterpillars and butterflies, trying to match them together. The children have also created some fantastic artwork over the week, making their own caterpillars and butterflies in the craft area to contribute to this fantastic class display with the sunflowers they made a few weeks ago.
In Maths we have been learning about manipulating shapes, using them for a purpose and rotating them to create a range of shape pictures. They have also learned about Tangrams and used the shapes from a tangram square to create a number of different minibeast and animal pictures.
Monday is the whole school move-up morning where the children will be spending the morning in their new class. They will register in class as normal in the morning and return to Beech class as normal after their lunch break. If you have any queries about this please email me on the class email beech@crowmoorschool.co.uk
We hope you have a lovely weekend and don’t forget to keep reading!
