Well, the Very Hungry Caterpillar got in a real pickle when he ate too much unhealthy food, didn’t he?  Today, we are going to see if we can help him make sensible food choices.  With your grown up, have a chat about the different sorts of food that are healthy and unhealthy.  Then, make two lists on a piece of paper.  You need to write ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ for headings of your lists and then try and write or draw pictures of healthy and unhealthy food so that the Hungry Caterpillar will know for next time!  Have fun and stay healthy! 

Have a lovely day and remember not to eat too much like the

We hope you are all well and keeping safe!
