Exploring Numbers with The Very Hungry Caterpillar

26th September 2025
Nursery

This week in Bumblebees Class, we’ve been diving into the delightful story The Very Hungry Caterpillar! The children have loved exploring the caterpillar’s journey, from his tiny egg to a beautiful butterfly. In our maths area, we’ve been busy practicing number recognition — the children matched numbers to the correct quantity by placing colourful bricks onto the caterpillar’s leaves. It’s been a wonderful way to combine storytelling, counting, and creativity!
