Welcome to Caterpillar Class!
We are thrilled to welcome you and your little ones to our Caterpillar Class! This is the beginning of an exciting journey, where your child will grow, explore, and thrive in a nurturing environment designed especially for them.
At Caterpillar Class, we believe in fostering each child’s natural curiosity, independence, and love for learning. Our dedicated team will support your child’s development, helping them build confidence, self-expression, and social skills as they embark on their early learning adventure.
Our focus is on creating a safe, fun, and stimulating environment that encourages children to explore the world around them. We offer hands-on experiences, creative play, and opportunities for problem-solving that lay the foundation for lifelong learning. Throughout their time with us, we will work closely with you to support and celebrate every milestone.
We look forward to supporting your child’s journey, helping them blossom at their own pace, and watching them transform from curious caterpillars into confident learners.
Thank you for entrusting us with this special stage of your child’s life. We’re excited to be part of their growth and development!

Spring 1- Caterpillar Class
This half term, we are diving into the magical world of stories! Our exciting topic, “Who Can Tell a Story?”, will explore some of our favourite traditional tales and help us discover that everyone can be a storyteller!
We’ll journey through well-loved stories like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Gingerbread Man, learning about:
🐻 Characters – Who are the people and animals in the stories?
🏡 Settings – Where do the stories take place?
🎭 Events – What happens in each story?
Spring 2 – Caterpillar Class
This half term, the Caterpillar Class will be exploring the topic “How do things grow?” The children will have the wonderful opportunity to plant seeds, watch plants grow, and learn all about life cycles and how to care for plants.
To bring this learning to life, we will enjoy some interesting stories, including the well-known favourite “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Through hands-on activities and storytelling, the children will develop a deeper understanding of the natural world around them.
We’re looking forward to a fantastic half-term of discovery and fun!
Summer 1
What happened Long Ago?
This term, Caterpillar Class will be going on a roaring adventure as we explore the world of dinosaurs! The children will be learning all about what dinosaurs looked like, the names of different types, what they ate, and asking exciting questions like “What is a fossil?”
We’ll be learning both indoors and outdoors rain or shine as we dig into the past and discover what life was like long ago. It’s going to be a term full of fun, curiosity, and hands-on learning!
