La chenille que fait des trous - Year 4 French storytime

This term Year 4 have been using their French topic of Food and Healthy Eating to explore language used in a famous children's story by Eric Carle - The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which in French is actually titled La chenille qui fait des trous.

The children used the story to revise days of the week, practise some of the fruits they have been learning and look at more vocabulary linked to food and discuss the gender of nouns. 

You can listen and read along to the story here:
