Yesterday you listened to the story of the ‘Very Hungry Caterpillar’. If you missed it then take a look using the link below.

You then used pictures from the story to talk about the sequence of events, using language: first, then, next, after and finally.

Think about the events of the story. Can you remember the order of fruits and food the caterpillar ate? Use the picture cards below to help you.

Talk through the pictures with your grown up and tell them the sequence of what the caterpillar ate.

Today’s challenge is to make your own lift the flap Hungry Caterpillar so you can talk through the sequence of what the caterpillar ate. Take a look at the picture below for an idea of what you will be making!

Ask an adult to help you to prepare the caterpillar.

1. Fold a piece of paper and draw 8 circles, starting at the fold.
2. Cut out the circles (Remember not to cut along the fold, otherwise the flaps won’t lift!) You might like to colour and draw a face on the first circle (this can just be a flat circle – no flap needed!)
3. Next stick the circles on to a long strip of paper, or place them in order. Starting with the head, followed by all the other lift up circles.
4. Ask your grown up to write the days on the top of each flap, starting with Monday to Sunday.
5. Now use the picture cards below to see the order of what the caterpillar ate, starting with 1 apple.
6. Lift up the flap and under each day draw what the caterpillar ate. So under Monday you will need to draw 1 apple, under Tuesday 2 pears and so on.
7. You might like to add some colour to your caterpillar and foods.

AMAZING!

Once you have completed drawing the pictures and have coloured your caterpillar, use your caterpillar to tell your grown up the sequence of what he ate by lifting up each flap in turn.

I hope you enjoy creating your caterpillar. We would love to see your work so send your pictures to nurseryhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Have a great day!
