Our second story book based session was focused around the story of "la chenille qui fait des trous" (the caterpillar that made holes or as we know it "the very hungry caterpillar" by Eric Carle.
We had fun listening to the story and counting the different fruits and the holes.
We also had a go at the action rhyme la petite chenille:
La petite chenille se promène dans le jardin (hold your left arm horizontal and with your right index finger make a caterpillar crawling along your arm)
Et rencontre une arbre (put your arm vertical and spread your palm out to make a tree)
Elle monte l'arbre (make your little caterpillar climb the tree)
Et dans ses branches elle fabrique un cocon (make a fist with you right hand on your spread palm)
Un jour passe, et puis une nuit (keep your tree arm and with your other arm wave infront of the tree one way for day and back again for night)
Un jour passe et puis une nuit (as above)
Un jour passe et puis une nuit (as above)
Et la petite chenille se transforme en papillon (make a cocoon with your fist again and then make both your hands into a butterfly by spreading your palms and crossing your thumbs. Make your papillon fly off).
For our craft we painted our very own chenille using paints, balloons, fingers and brushes and stuck on some eye stickers to complete the look:
Some of the children also had a go at making a papillon (butterfly) by painting on one half of their paper and folding the other side over to print a symmetrical pattern for their butterflies:
Lots of messy fun was had and I'm sure you will agree the final paintings are fabulous!!
Happy singing and crafting! :0)
