The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I know you all know ERIC CARLE (and, of course THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR), so that is a very good reason to use it. The topic I am working with my YEAR 1 students in SCIENCE is food. This story is perfect for that purpose. Of course, we told the story in class. Here I share two beautiful videos with you. On the first one you can listen to Eric Carle himself reading the story:

I like the second one very much. It is a wonderful animation. 

Another advantage of using a story so very well known is that it is very easy to find activities for your lessons. On the following blog you can find nearly a 100 ideas:

The caterpillar comes next...

He ate a lot...

And she became a butterfly!

This inpiration for this idea came from a friend of mine and from the following website:
