Guest Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 We are doing this book next week and i am looking for something to do which is a bit different for a literacy activity. We have dne lots of sequencing so i am trying to steer clear of that sort of thing. Children are aged 4 and 5 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tinkerbell Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) I saw this idea in a school The children cut out circles of geen and attach each circle in a dififferent way to make a caterpillar cellotape staple hole punch then use ; treasury tags split pins pipe cleaners wool plastic bag ties they looked quite effective and the children were obviously learning skills of fastening.

leapfrog Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Could you ask the children what they would eat their way through and write a class story related to the text. Then do lots of lovely art work to illustrate their 'book' ? What about making fruit and veg kebabs after a tasting session so each child gets to choose their favourites. Or use the idea of circles to make a caterpillar and use it for word building in phonics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 We once made our own version about a very thirsty caterpillar - shared / guided writing session. Follow the format of the book but change foods for drinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
