Our Minibeast Hunt!!

FS2 really enjoyed going on our minibeast hunt and found lots of creatures!











Learning intentions: Week beginning 4th July

Maths: Be using butterflies to make symmetrical pictures, linking to our topic of mini beasts. They will have a butterfly outline and be choosing ways of making it symmetrical using different shapes and colours. This will also be fed into paintings.


Literacy: Be reading 'Pass the Jam Jim' and thinking about rhyming and alliteration. They will also be introduced to a verb being a 'doing' word. They will be thinking about a birthday party and making alliteration using different foods e.g pass the sandwich Sally.

Topic: Be thinking about our caterpillars and observing how they grow and change, thinking about the lifecycle of their growth. We will be drawing, labelling and writing sentences to describe each sentence and what has happened/changed.
