Our new topic is MINIBEASTS! Mrs Hall and Mrs Hume love this topic and it is perfect to do at home this term. Mrs Hall reads The Very Hungry Caterpillar found on Tapestry to introduce the topic.

This can be done using pictures and drawing the most important parts of the story.

You can add some words too or write a sentence from the story.

Can you do some races in the garden with your family? Who can run the fastest, who can skip the fastest? Let us know how you get on!
