You're right - there isn't an early learning goal covering this. The nearest I could find is a stepping stone in PSED - Behaviour and self control "Show care and concern for others, for living things and the environment".

 

Its a bit of a tortuous link to the early learning goal "Understand what is right, what is wrong, and why" and "Consider the consequences of their words and actions for themselves and others" But could you do something about our responsibility to look after the environment so that living things can live a healthy life?

 

The only other thing I could think of was something about recognising what we need to keep us healthy - just as the caterpillar did what was necessary to turn into a butterfly.

 

Sorry I can't help more!

Isn't it within K&Uof W?

 

I rarely teach PSE within a topic although I may use stories to teach PSE.

 

I would use The Hungry Caterpillar for a healthy eating focus. (PD)

we do peer massage at our school and its brill the children work with a partner on gentle touches and follow power point presentations of visual clues for the different massage strokes

 

at the moment we are learning the hungry caterpillar massage which follows the story

 

this really was just an aside to the gneral conversation but if anyone is interested in peer massage i can give you more details

Sounds like a House-of-Lords-based scandal, cheerycherry!

 

Sorry - talk about lowering the tone!

Dear LOla

Hope you have found ideas for PSE - Hungry Catrepillar. I am in the exact boat as you. I am to deliver PSED with topic based on Hungry Caterpillar. Hope you have moved further in finding new ideas. I will let you know if I find something new. Do think the idea with healthy eating was great.

 

Good luck
