The very hungry caterpillars

This week, as part of their 'animals' topic, the class have been treating their animals and teddies in the vets role play area. They have also used the pet shop role play area in the classroom to buy and sell their animals.

The children also enjoyed using the outdoor garden area on sunny days this week to draw pictures and write about their pets.

Today, the children put baby caterpillars into small jars. They are looking forward to watching the caterpillars grow and eventually turn into butterflies. Once the butterflies have grown in the butterfly net, they will be released into the reception class garden area.
