The Hungry Caterpillar
Transcript: Hook: The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle Themes: Diets and Life Cycles Subjects Life Cycles Science Science Links to the National Curriculum: Pupils might work scientifically by: observing, through video or first-hand observation and measurement, how different animals, including humans, grow; asking questions about what things animals need for survival and what humans need to stay healthy; and suggesting ways to find answers to their questions. Use 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' to explore the life cycle of an animal and how they change over time. This could be done through a sequence of lessons where the children observe the metamorphisis of a caterpillar, taking pictures at each stage to record the changes over time. Link to computing - Using technology, such as iPads, to record changes over time. Computing Computing Links to the National Curriculum: Recognise common uses of information technology beyond school. Use the Facetime A Farmer initiative to enhance the children's understanding of life cycles of different plants and animals with the children relating their understanding from the previous lesson about the life cycle of a caterpillar to the life cycles of other animals and plants. Links to Science and DT: The children will relate the learning in this lesson to the learning they have completed in science and DT about the life cycles of caterpillars Design and Technology Design and Technology Links to the National Curriculum: Generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through talking, drawing, templates, mock-ups and, where appropriate, information and communication technology. Using 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' and the children's first-hand observations of the metamorphosis of a caterpillar, the children will craft a representation of this process in paper. Link to science: The children will be relating back to their previous learning about the metamorphosis of a caterpillar. Subjects Diet Science Science Links to the National Curriculum: Recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function. Use 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' to explore Use 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' to explore the life cycle of an animal and how they change over time. This could be done through a sequence of lessons where the children observe the metamorphisis of a caterpillar, taking pictures at each stage to record the changes over time. Link to computing - Using technology, such as iPads, to record changes over time. Computing Links to the National Curriculum: Use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content. This could be done by getting the children to research the foods mentioned in 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' and finding out whether they are healthy or not. Computing Links to science: Design and Technology Design and Technology Links to the National Curriculum: Use the basic principles of a healthy and varied diet to prepare dishes. Using 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' to inspire and make a nutritious meal. Since learning about what makes a healthy and balanced diet. This could include meals such as fruit salads and other dishes that include foods from the book. Link to science: Healthy and varied diet Link to computing: Retrieve digital content
