What have we been up to in Caterpillar Class?


We have been very busy in Caterpillar class over the past few weeks. Have a look below at what we've been up to...

We finished off our fantastic Space topic recently by thinking of and writing  some very inquisitive questions:





We had such fun in our Space station role play area. We even displayed some of our brilliant space research homework in there.


We have been very busy, recently, practising our handwriting and letter formation, as we know how important it is to have clear writing for everyone to be able to read.

I think all of Caterpillar class would agree in saying that 'Supertato' has definitely been one of our favourite topics.

We were so surprised when we received a letter from Supertato, asking for our help:







We had great fun, doing our best, to help Supertato catch that Evil Pea!



As part of our early morning work, we have been looking at identifying the 'odd one out'. We are getting really good at identifying and explaining our reasons.

Last week, we really enjoyed it when year 3 came down to read to us!




We loved sharing our favourite stories and even got the chance to impress the year 3 children with our fabulous reading skills too.

Supertato to the rescue!

The children in reception had a fantastic week of activities themed around the story Supertato!

 
The Evil Pea visited our classroom and played mean tricks on the vegetables!
Oh no! Carrot has been stuck to the whiteboard!
 
The Evil Pea wrote words using a special invisible pen which we had to use a magic torch to read!
He has written tricky words - my, you, are, she.
 
In our Outside Area the Evil Pea had done mean things to our favourite characters and we became Police Officers and reported what we saw at the crime scene!
Somebody has drawn on Elsa's face and Fireman Sam has been tied to the fence!
 
Using construction resources we worked together to make traps to catch the Evil Pea!
If we move this bit the Evil Pea will get trapped inside!
 
There were Evil Peas hidden in jelly which he had to rescue using the tweezers.

We wrote our own fantastic Supertato stories!

 
 We peeled potatoes using potato peelers - we discovered it was tricky to do but we kept on trying!
 
Mrs Winter cooked the potatoes and then we mashed them, describing the changes to the potatoes once they had been cooked.
The potatoes are soft now they are cooked.
