Grace's Story
Hello my little jumping bugs! How are you?
This week we are carrying on with bugs and creepy crawlies.
I hope you enjoy it and can't wait to hear about and see what you have found out!
Story Time
Can you remember the name of the author (someone who writes books)
of The Very Hungry Caterpillar?
That's right...Eric Carle.
Here are some more stories written by Eric Carle.
- Choose one of them to make a story map for (See resources in Summer week 2 for examples)
- Paint/ Draw / make a playdough creature and label it.
- Can you make your own little story about a bug?
Listen to and then listen and watch the music videos below.
- Talk about what you can hear and see.
- Which creature do you think it could be about?
- What instruments do you hear? Can you find out what they are called?
- Who is the person at the front without an instrument? Why are they there?
- Is it fast or slow? Loud or soft? Angry or gentle? Busy or calm?
- Make an instrument using elastic bands. What else would you need? Look at the instruments on the video for clues.
- Use the action cards (below in resources) to move to the music like a bug.
- Make your own bug movement card and write the action to match.
