George Saves The World By Lunchtime (George and Flora)

Product Information

If you have access to the internet look up the lovely story by Eric Carle, 'The Hungry Caterpillar' Watch the life cycle from egg to caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly!

Watch and listen to the story on YouTube. Questions to ask : Can you remember the names of the fruits? Which animals took which fruits? Why was the title of the story Handa's Surprise? What was the surprise in the end? Can Handa tell what is happening to the fruits in her basket as she goes on her journey to meet Akeyo? What animals and insects can the children spot hiding in the pictures? Can the children remember the special words used to describe each fruit, e.g. ripe, red mango, creamy, green avocado. Why not have a try at growing a sunflower plant beanstalk! If your grown ups can get hold of some seeds at the supermarket a pot and some compost (ordinary soil would do), plant your seed and watch it grow over the next few weeks. You could keep a diary drawing the different stages of growth. Remember, work hard, have fun & be good for your grown-ups but most importantly keep safe & be happy! Another week has gone by, we are all keeping safe and the sun is shining again! I look forward to the day we can all be together again.

I hope you are enjoying spending time with your families and doing lots of exciting things, maybe even learning something new that you can tell us about next time we see you. I have loved seeing all the photos that you have sent to Mrs Halligan, it looks like you have been having fun. I have been going for lots of walks in the countryside near my house, through the farms & along the canal. This week I spotted something really exciting & I have sent you some photos to look at, can you spot the goslings too? I just wanted to let you know how much I miss you and am hoping that we get to see each other really soon. Whilst I have been at home with my family I have been doing lots of baking, did you see me on the staff video with my mixing bowl & rolling pin? I was making gingerbread men just like we did at school, but the real favourite in my house is carrot cake, yum.
