At School we began our topic

“Plants and Life Cycles.”

In this booklet there are lots of things that you can do

at home. You don’t have to do them all at once.

It could take you three days, one week, two weeks…

It’s up to you!

Don’t forget to upload pictures to Tapestry.

We can’t wait to see what you get up too!

If you have access to the internet, you could take a

look at some of the online learning resources below…

You could watch the story of

“The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”

(To the tune of “She’ll be coming round the mountain.”)

There’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf; wiggle, wiggle,

There’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf; wiggle, wiggle.

There’s a tiny caterpillar, tiny caterpillar, tiny caterpillar on a leaf; wiggle, wiggle!

A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home; spin, spin,

A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home; spin, spin,

A cocoon is what he’s spinning, a cocoon is what he’s spinning, a cocoon is what he’s

spinning for his home; spin spin!

Then he’ll be a butterfly and flap away; flap, flap,

Then he’ll be a butterfly and flap away; flap, flap,

Then he’ll be a butterfly, be a butterfly, then he’ll be a butterfly and flap away; flap flap!
