Marshmallow Ants and The Very Hungry Caterpillar Hook

A very strange thing happened in Room 4 this week. We went to eat our fruit and discovered that there were holes all through it! We had a discussion about what could have done this to the fruit and most children thought that it was some kind of insect. We then read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and discovered that in the story a caterpillar ate its way through a lot of fruit. Perhaps the Very Hungry Caterpillar decided to visit Room 4?

One of our Talk for Writing focuses this term is learning to label pictures. We are learning about the different body parts of insects and mini beasts. We learned about the body parts of ants and created our own marshmallow ants complete with a head, abdomen, thorax, legs, eyes and antennae.
