We had a great time creating our very own hungry caterpillars using food. We had to be careful to wash our hands and keep them clean so we don’t spread germs. We then made our caterpillars using the right colours and estimated how many grapes we might be able to fit on our skewer before we needed to put the head on. Of course, they tasted delicious!
The children were very interested in police so we decided to have a crime scene role-play area!
We were very lucky to have the police come down to take fingerprints to help with our investigation! Who was the criminal?
We went on a bug hunt too see what we could find. The children found a snail, beetle, spider and a ladybird. In the afternoon we wrote about all the creatures that we found!

This afternoon we had another exciting visit from Mr Smith. We have started making and decorating a wooden dinosaur for outside our classrooms!
Come and look at the interesting patterns we have created.
Today, 1b watched a short film called ‘Bubbles’. It inspired us to add a twist to the story and write our own versions. Here are the children creating their characters, right before they wrote the beginning of their own stories. We are very excited to write the middle and end tomorrow!
